BBC4's John Peel Night

This post concludes all the tv & radio media for John Peel that I’m aware of for this week. If you know of more please let me know.

As much as there is on offer this, and last week, it’s by no means any real substitute and I do genuinely have Sheila and the family in mind, and not just at this time because, and I’m sure we all are of the same opinion here: John was very much a part of our own extended family and I like to think we were also part of his.
