Documentary first shown on Channel 4 in 2005, looking at the most prized records in John Peel's huge record collection, which he kept stored in a special box. Looks at the music and artistes featured in those special records and at the music tastes of John Peel. Also includes interviews with family and friends, including wife Sheila Ravenscroft, son Tom (who was also involved in its production) and brother Alan; DJs Mary Anne Hobbs, Paul Gambaccini and Marc Riley; artists Elton John, Ronnie Wood (Faces), Roger Daltrey (Who), Fergal Sharkey (Undertones), Jack White (White Stripes), Mark E. Smith and Brixa Smith (Fall), Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt (Status Quo), Billy Bragg, Damon Albarn (Blur) and Pete Wylie (Wah!); plus schoolmate Michael Palin.

John played my records, and I know it sounds selfish, but I felt really happy when I first heard my unknown band played on the radio. I just assumed that we would never be on the radio. If we were a new band now, we wouldn't. Thanks John.

You prolly dont care at all but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!

"John Peels is the most important DJ of all time" - I recon he might be right. No one can replace him in any truly meaningful way.

As a teen in the late 70s early 80s I used to listen to Peel every night in bed. He introduced me to so many bands that I loved then and still love today. Without John I dont think I would have the love of music that I have today. I own this man a lot.

He opened my eyes to music I would otherwise never have heard of. Laura Cantrell, The Moonlighters, Stringbuilder, the list goes on and on. I'm still feeling the loss. He had a tremendous impact on my perception of music, art and in general. Seeking out the hidden gems in everything. The Pig's big 78...oh, I miss those days.... I was fortunate enough to have a request read on air by the man himself 10 years ago. I still have the mp3 soundbite. It's a fond memory of a grand man :-)

Although it was his professional title, calling him a mere "DJ" feels almost like an insult -- like calling Michael Jordan a basketball player or Nelson Mandela a freedom-fighter or Pablo Picasso a painter or Sean Connery an actor or Bruce Lee a martial artist. There are just those very rare people who are so important to the vocation or avocation that they choose to pursue that after so many years devoting every ounce of their being to it almost transcend it. John Peel was, and still is*, that to the profession of radio disk-jockey. His level of skill and degree of knowledge in all things related to music and the promotion and archiving thereof is truly unmatched. The closest thing that we here in the States have to someone like Peel is Alan Lomax, the Depression-era music archivist contracted by the Smithsonian (thru one of FDR's WPA recovery programs) to record Folk, Blues, Country-Western, Jazz, Gospel, and Bluegrass music from all around the country (but especially focused on the rural Deep South, Gulf region, Appalachia, "Bible Belt", and Great Plains). As much as he and his work are a national treasure to we Americans, Peel is equally a national treasure for you UKers. He shaped the music-consumption culture in your country and beyond over the course of half a century -- from the Psychedelic '60s all the way thru to the Garage Rock revival of the 20-aughts and covering the Prog, Glam and Punk '70s, the New Wave and Post-Punk '80s, and the Grunge '90s in between. No small feat, if you ask me!

first dj to play most decent rock n roll artists. Great memories from the post punk late 70s/early 80s. Joy Division, early Bunnymen, The Fall, Gang of Four etc. etc. Although Roger Hill at BBC Radio Merseyside is arguably even better. Peely with quality control really. Check him out at PMSradio. Been there for 30 years and going from strength to strength.
