Not many people manage to achieve the status of legend in their own lifetime, and even fewer deserve that status. But John Peel was one such, whose contribution to British culture is undeniable. His 40 year career on Radio 1 and Radio 4 reached a huge and diverse audience, and he influenced the musical tastes of millions.

John Peel Remembered, a new release by BBC Radio Audiobooks, includes the Radio 4 Book of the Week serialisation of Margrave of the Marshes, Peel's part-written autobiography completed by his wife, Sheila Ravenscroft and a Home Truths Special, in which Tom Robinson visits Peel Acres to meet John's wife Sheila and their four children.

John Peel Remembered is available from all good bookshops, online at www.bbcshop.com or by BBC Audiobooks direct mail on 0800 136 919.
