- 23:02, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index J (Tidied up the description of a progressive jackpot)
- 22:40, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index B (Added "burning off". This is more of a general TV term than a specific game show term, but it certainly applies to a good few game shows (For the Rest of Your Life, Iron Chef UK, Benchmark, etc.))
- 22:04, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index I (Re-worded the bit about Ice Warriors' set so that the show is described, instead of its name being repeated (this isn't quite as easy to achieve with the bit about Interceptor's theme tune))
- 21:35, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index I (Tidied up regarding "Rock Revolution")
- 21:20, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) The Tennis Elbow Foot Game (According to BBC Genome, there were 12 episodes on BBC2, rather than 10 - the first eight airing on Sunday nights, and the last four on Thursday nights)
- 16:26, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) The Big Breakfast (→Trivia: obviously, the house pre-dates the Olympic Stadium by a good 60 years)
- 16:21, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) The Big Breakfast (→Synopsis: band names don't need to be in italics, do they?)
- 15:56, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Wawffactor (Changed some of the present tenses in the synopsis to past tenses for consistency. Also, only one link to the X Factor article is sufficient)
- 14:36, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:Anglia Productions (Added a short history (as per the pages for most other ITV stations), mentioning Anglia's launch date, its takeover by MAI, and its ultimate sale to Granada)
- 14:15, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Relative Knowledge (→Trivia: I suppose it *is* the general style for quotes to be in italics as well as between quotation marks :)) (top)
- 14:13, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Relative Knowledge (It was perhaps ironic that Titchy hosted the first series of this *and* the UK Gold version of Ask the Family two years later)
- 13:59, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Skull (Whoopsie doodle...)
- 13:27, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index K (Obviously, the Art of Noise's Krypton Factor theme tune is better-known than those by Mike Moran and Paul Farrer...)
- 13:04, 26 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Take the Tower (Don't think this qualifies for the Awaiting Review category any more... ;))
- 21:47, 25 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Don't Stop Me Now (Should this *really* be incorporated into the Trivia...? Anyway, tidied up regarding the show being pulled after the third episode, and the remaining five being burned off in a Sunday teatime slot)
- 21:19, 25 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Don't Stop Me Now (→Theme music: we all know who sung "Don't Stop Me Now" originally, don't we? And although it was McFly's cover that was used, it was an obvious choice of theme tune for this show)
- 21:01, 25 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index C ("Prizes on the first series of Celebrity Squares"... From the rest of the text, I assume that's the first series overall, in 1975, as opposed to the first series of the Central/Grundy revival, in 1993)
- 17:28, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Taro' Mlaen (→Synopsis: tidied up regarding the revival, which (obviously) was in English as opposed to the original's Cymraeg)
- 15:04, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) I'd Do Anything (2) (→Web links: thank heavens for the Wayback Machine when it comes to pages that have been deleted)
- 14:32, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index 0-9 (Deleted "ever" from the 433 fact, following a reconsideration)
- 14:22, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index 0-9 (Bill McKaig was, of course, the only person to achieve Fifteen-to-One's perfect 433 score. Also mentioned the two nearest misses - Daphne Fowler's 432 and Michael Penrice's 423)
- 14:13, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index 0-9 (Added Kevin Ashman's record Mastermind score. 41 also happens to be a prime number - and prime numbers are usually fun numbers (433 is prime, too) ;))
- 13:28, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Marti Caine (Marti was a genuine South Yorkshire lass, of course) (top)
- 13:14, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Linkpix (We also now know from Genome who the host/inventor was. It appears from IMDb and other sites that Dan Gillan was a stage name used by Norman Cusden, after he used his real name at first) (top)
- 13:04, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Linkpix (Thanks to the wonder that is BBC Genome, we now know who the panellists were for this one-off: https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/651fab83e5ca4b21a231bcd08e5b92ee)
- 03:19, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Cooks to Market (→Trivia: I presume the remaining episodes still haven't been burned off nearly seven years later, though I'm happy to be corrected)
- 03:16, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Cooks to Market (→Trivia: if the show was commissioned for twenty episodes, then it must have performed pretty badly for only the first six to air, right?)
- 02:34, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index C (→Shows: Connect 4 was a board game conversion)
- 02:31, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index M (→Shows: Mousetrap was, of course, a board game conversion)
- 02:22, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes (→Pictures: shortened the captions accompanying the respective pics of Les's question card pose and him with Mr Babbage. I don't think there's any real need for them to be *that* fancy... ;))
- 02:04, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) The Main Event (→Inventor: corrected spelling of Sotheby's) (top)
- 01:58, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index Y (Corrected the spelling of Wetten dass..?)
- 01:55, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index Y (→Shows: Your Word Against Mine was a radio quiz)
- 01:35, 24 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index G (→Shows: some consistency as regards "action/adventure")
- 13:15, 22 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index S (Re-worded the bit about Television Scrabble and TV Scrabble, including pointing out when each aired)
- 13:08, 22 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index S (→Shows: some consistency as regards "action/adventure")
- 13:01, 22 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Your Number Please (→Trivia: tidied the bit about the show's filming schedule and the proposed winners' episode)
- 19:22, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index M (Re-worded the bit about WWTBAM not being the first UK TV show to give away a million pounds (Chris Evans' name has to be mentioned, surely? He devised that segment himself, too))
- 18:54, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Index H (→Shows: some consistency as regards "action/adventure")
- 18:44, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Eamonn Holmes (→Trivia: corrected the words spoken by Eamonn when GMTV launched (and here they are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gh54IrWHhE))
- 18:05, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Jonathan Dimbleby (→Biography: Jonathan has just left Any Questions?, a few months after David's departure from Question Time. Also mentioned On The Record, hosted by Jonathan for its first five years)
- 17:48, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Insert Name Here (→Trivia: tidied up regarding the three pilots)
- 16:41, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Britain's Sexiest (→Key moments: neater to spell out "two" here) (top)
- 16:25, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Have I Got Buzzcocks All Over (→Synopsis: if the celeb editions of University Challenge for the 2003 and 2005 Red Nose Days should be mentioned, then it probably should be mentioned too that Deayton stayed on to host both)
- 16:10, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Have I Got Buzzcocks All Over (Expanded the synopsis by pointing out that on both occasions, Angus Deayton hosted while the teams were captained by Nick Hancock and either of the then-current Buzzcocks captains)
- 16:06, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Have I Got Buzzcocks All Over (Red Nose Day has only been held in odd-numbered years since 1989 - so perhaps it makes more sense to say "in 1999 and 2001", rather than "between" (and likewise for 2003 and 2005))
- 15:37, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Public Enemy Number One (→Trivia: "In an Noel-style end of series revenge stunt" ----> "In a Noel-style end-of-series revenge stunt", which is neater)
- 15:27, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Mastermind (Now that the 'Mind is co-produced by Hat Trick...)
- 15:06, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:Carlton Productions (Pointed out Carlton's loss of its on-air identity, and Carlton Communications' ultimate merger with Granada to form today's ITV plc)
- 14:58, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:Carlton Productions (I also mention Planet 24 - acquired by Carlton in 1999 - because, of course, this company made two absolutely huge shows in The Big Breakfast and The Word, as well as, um, Watercolour Challenge)
