In recent years, Radio 1's policy when changing an important show has
been to hire a temporary stooge to stand in. They take the heat for a
month or two and then the "saviour" is brought in.
DJ Da Bank to fill John Peel slot

Peel's production staff remain, so some of the music policy is retained.
Although time will tell if Rob Da Bank stays.
Let's have a minute's noise in memory of John Peel.

Hello Martin
It's John Peel's funeral today, tip him a nod and play something
loud....
Can't play anything loud, but I've took my hat off.
A sad day. RIP Mr Peel. You'll be sorely missed. I can't think of anyone
that made a greater contribution to independent music in this country.
On another note, I was reading on a forum about replacements for John Peel.
Rob Da Bank is standing in for now.
Of course, you could never replace Mr Peel, and shouldn't try to, but
someone said "How about Andrew Weatherall".
What a call. I'd be hard pushed to think of anyone better.
