« John-Peel-Day » Punk Rock Spezial
Peel's introduction: Well, I think you’ll find this programme is in rather marked contrast to the programme that has preceded it, because tonight we are going to have a look at punk rock. Mind you, no two people seem to be able to agree exactly what punk rock is, as is evidenced by the fact that someone has been phoning us off and on during the day and trying to convince us that our guests tonight, The Damned, are not a punk rock band. And punk rock fairly clearly means something entirely different to Americans. Anyway, we’ll hear a lot of music that may be punk rock, and a lot that certainly is.

John Peel Day
2005 rief die BBC den 13. Oktober 2005 zum ersten internationalen „John-Peel-Day“ aus und forderte seine Fans in aller Welt auf, Veranstaltungen in seinem Gedenken zu organisieren. Dieser Tag soll von nun an jeden zweiten Donnerstag im Oktober gefeiert werden, um an Peels letzte Sendung am 14. Oktober 2004 zu erinnern.
