- 23:45, 19 March 2020 (hist) (diff) Index B ("Alexander Armstrong's Big Ask" appears to have been that show's official title, too, *and* Xander's name features at the end of the title sequence. Might be worth starting a discussion here...)
- 17:29, 14 March 2020 (hist) (diff) Index B (AFAIK, "Carol Vorderman's Better Homes" was always that show's official title. Absolutely no disrespect intended whatsoever, Simon, but I think explanations *are* necessary in situations like this one)
- 04:14, 28 February 2020 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers (→Edit queries - February 2020)
- 06:53, 16 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Main Page (This is controversial, but I want to re-word the story about Laura replacing Caroline. The line "It is currently unknown as to whether Caroline will return..." feels somewhat wrong now, to me at least)
- 19:22, 13 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Who Dares Wins (Here's who composed the music. If this wasn't pointed out, this article would be unfinished business ;))
- 15:31, 13 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Wright Around the World (Here's who composed the music. When it comes to WATW and other shows that lasted only one or two series, YouTube is a godsend) (top)
- 15:08, 13 February 2020 (hist) (diff) In It to Win It (Here's the man and company responsible for the music)
- 14:57, 13 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Eggheads (May as well add the man and company responsible for the music)
- 06:48, 13 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes (→Theme music: the Vernon era theme was, of course, another rearrangement of the Mike Alexander theme, with Ash Alexander (any relation?) and Simon Darlow's credit not being dissimilar to Woolmans')
- 06:26, 13 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes (→Theme music: Mike Alexander's theme was, of course, rearranged twice before Les left - on the second occasion by Mike Woolmans (whose credit was, funnily enough, "Musical Arranger"))
- 06:06, 13 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes (→Theme music: like Paul Maguire on Fifteen-to-One, Mike Alexander (Michael in later years) always had the unusual credit of "Musical Director")
- 06:01, 13 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes (→Theme Music: some simplification (and standardisation of sorts) here, prior to adding some new info about the 1987 and 2006 themes)
- 04:09, 13 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Celebrity Squares (I think the composers' names should come *after* the corresponding date ranges, having seen this style used in articles for other game shows with more than one theme tune. Feel free to disagree though)
- 03:44, 13 February 2020 (hist) (diff) One to Win (2) (Thanks to the presence on YouTube of at least one-and-a-half episodes with the full credit sequence, we now know who composed the music) (top)
- 03:28, 13 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Whittle (No surprise to learn that Rick Turk composed Whittle's music, as he was more or less Grundy's go-to composer at the time)
- 20:59, 12 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Take the Plunge (And again assuming these listings aren't wrong, Anglia and Central aired the show at noticeably different times to most other ITV regions. Ah, the days of regional variations...)
- 20:37, 12 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Take the Plunge (Assuming the TV listings in copies of the Guardian from the period aren't wrong, there were ten episodes)
- 01:37, 12 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Gladiators (I think putting Ulrika's and Wright Wright Wright's respective co-hosts on separate lines (by means of <br> tags) is neater)
- 01:29, 12 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Gladiators (→Catchphrases: John also counted down before whistling to start the Eliminator - wonder if this should be listed separately?)
- 00:21, 12 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Gladiators (→Catchphrases: mustn't forget what John said to the contenders at the start of the Eliminator)
- 00:17, 12 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Gladiators (→Catchphrases: to be pedantic, John used the singular "contender" and "Gladiator" in the likes of Duel and Hang Tough, and also used "contender" in Gauntlet)
- 00:09, 12 February 2020 (hist) (diff) Index C (Catchpoint follows Catchphrase alphabetically)
- 19:57, 28 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Barry Davies (Barry has now retired, so I think it's time to make a start on his biography)
- 19:38, 28 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Main Page (I think it's worth pointing out how long Nick's showbiz career lasted, and mentioning "the Quiz of the Week, from Norwich")
- 22:08, 22 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Eggheads (It was Daphne who retired in 2014, and whose place Lisa took - Judith's still very much there)
- 22:04, 22 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Eggheads (It's been over three years now since Steve and Beth became, in all likelihood, the last Eggheads - the show's death seems to be imminent (and timely, IMHO), although the Beeb are still saying nothing)
- 23:40, 20 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Ian Messiter (→Web links: found the address for Messiter's Independent obituary. And again, not entirely necessary on my part, but the Guardian *did* change its URL some years ago)
- 23:30, 20 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Ian Messiter (Not entirely necessary, but I've pointed out the date in 1999 on which Messiter died, and the age he was)
- 23:07, 20 January 2020 (hist) (diff) False Evidence (According to the wonder that is BBC Genome, False Evidence went out on Saturday nights in November and December 1951 on what was then the Light Programme (now Radio 2))
- 22:50, 20 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Sioe Gwobrau Mawr (General tidying up)
- 22:34, 20 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Index S (Shammy Dab precedes the Shane Richie Experience and Shattered alphabetically)
- 23:57, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) X-Fire (Three of the twelve broadcast episodes are on YouTube, complete with credits - so here's the guy who devised the format, and the company that made the music)
- 23:27, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Blue Peter (→Broadcast: got to point out when in 1958 BP began, right?)
- 23:20, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Index C (Cash Trapped is the last of the "Cash" shows alphabetically (for now, anyway))
- 23:07, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Mastermind (→Theme music: much to my delight, Hat Trick and Hindsight are using the original version of "Approaching Menace". Never warmed to the BBC Philharmonic version, truth be told)
- 03:25, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Best House in Town (Shouldn't we add this show to the Endemol category? Sidney Street is part of Endemol Shine UK)
- 02:55, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Brainchild (According to BBC Genome, the first series aired on Fridays from 5 July to 23 August 1974, and the second series on Tuesdays from 29 July to 9 September 1975 (with repeats on Saturday mornings)) (top)
- 02:43, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) The Brains Trust (According to BBC Genome, the BBC2 version in 1996 ran for six episodes, all airing on Monday nights after Newsnight)
- 02:32, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Brainbox Challenge (Thanks to the presence of a full episode on YouTube, here are the music composers)
- 01:53, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Travel Bug (According to BBC Genome, the series began on 1 October '95 (rather than 24 September), and there were 13 episodes, all airing on Sunday mornings at around 10am)
- 01:13, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Quisine (From the end of the video, we now know who created the format on which the show was based, and who composed the music)
- 01:07, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Quisine (Specifically, it was the summer of '99 when BBC2 surprisingly showed repeats)
- 00:58, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Quisine (Woo-hoo! A full episode courtesy of the wonder that is YouTube)
- 00:42, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Index T (Terror Towers precedes the "Test" shows alphabetically)
- 00:38, 19 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Main Page (→Game show news: again, no disrespect intended whatsoever, but I think there's a more apt headline for Sandi leaving GBBO... ;))
- 19:35, 17 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Backdate (Pointed out the composers of Backdate's theme (and incidental music). Interesting, actually, since Simon Etchell seemed to be Action Time's go-to composer at the time)
- 19:10, 17 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Index O (Nostalgia was the theme of On the Air (as it was with Today's the Day and Backdate). Also, wouldn't this show come between On Stage and On The Ball alphabetically?)
- 19:00, 17 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Index O (As a BBC Radio Scotland show, Oh Yes It Is, Oh No It Isn't fits neatly into the regional (Scotland) genre)
- 21:37, 16 January 2020 (hist) (diff) John Craven (Worth pointing out where and when John was born. Also italicised all programme names in his bio and the Trivia, for purposes of consistency more than anything else)
- 21:21, 16 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Duncan Bannatyne (→Biography: pointed out the year in which Duncan received his OBE) (top)
