FROM RADIO TIMES WEBSITE:-
John Peel Tribute
10:00pm - 11:30pm
BBC2
Radio Times readers need no reminding of how much John Peel will be missed. For nearly a decade his dry and often personal column was one of the most loved parts of the Radio Times magazine. But it's as an iconic broadcaster that he'll be best remembered, perhaps the only voice that could ever be equally at home on Radio 1 and Radio 4. Excerpts from 1999's John Peel Night celebrating his 60th birthday, includes the documentary Turn That Racket Down. Plus Dear John in which musicians, friends and fellow broadcasters recall what John meant to them.
