- 17:11, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Helen Chamberlain (→Biography: forgot to italicise Soccer AM, there) (top)
- 17:08, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Helen Chamberlain (It's now been two years since "Hells Bells", as she's commonly known, left Soccer AM. Also mentioned her Pontins and Chessington work prior to joining Sky)
- 16:50, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) The Chase (→Catchphrases: Bradley's usual sign-off has to be considered a catchphrase too)
- 16:48, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) The Chase (→Catchphrases: Shaun's "...just another day at the office" has to be considered a catchphrase, right?)
- 16:29, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Laura Whitmore (Laura hails from Bray in County Wicklow, just south of Dublin - as, indeed, does Dara Ó Briain)
- 16:20, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Dara Ó Briain (→Trivia: here's the correct pronunciation of Dara's surname, from someone who has lived in Ireland for 18 years and understands a reasonable amount of Gaeilge ;))
- 15:34, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:TVS Productions (Further tidying up regarding the acquisition of TVS's archive by IFE and eventually Disney, and the misplacement of the corresponding paperwork)
- 15:02, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:TVS Productions (There was of course the original American version of The Family Channel, also owned by IFE. Following acquisition by Disney, this channel became ABC Family in 2001, and then Freeform in 2016)
- 14:30, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:TVS Productions (Pointed out the exact dates on which TVS replaced Southern and was replaced by Meridian. And it probably should be pointed out how it lost its franchise, too - TSW lost its own for the same reason)
- 14:12, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Index O (Worth pointing out the decade in which On Safari aired, since I don't think it's *quite* as well-remembered as other shows from the period (not helped, of course, by the state of the TVS archive))
- 13:54, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Index O (Although OOV certainly applies to Robin Houston on 100% and Nicholas Rowe on Grand Slam, it's more of a general TV term - most commonly applying to news reports where the reporter isn't seen on screen)
- 12:18, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Main Page (→Game show news: with the greatest of respect, I think Iain's original "Flack's off" headline is that bit better. ITV *are* keeping the door open for Caroline, for the time being at least)
- 02:34, 18 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Iain Stirling (Mention Iain's name to older people in Devon and Cornwall, and they might first think of the very-similarly-named Westward and TSW continuity announcer (whose colleagues included one Ruth Langsford))
- 01:26, 18 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Tim Gudgin (Pointed out when Tim died)
- 00:46, 18 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Mark Benton (→Biography: worth pointing out that Mark's a Yorkshireman)
- 23:54, 17 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Lauren Laverne (→Biography: Lauren's a Wearsider, of course. And regardless what one thinks of her as the presenter of Desert Island Discs, she's now been in this role for over a year)
- 23:27, 17 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Ted Moult (Tidied up Ted's biography - including pointing out where he was born, and what age he was when he took his own life)
- 22:56, 17 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Sean Hughes (→Biography: Sean was Irish, of course, although he was born in London. Also pointed out the precise date on which he died, and the tragically young age he was) (top)
- 22:39, 17 December 2019 (hist) (diff) John Humphrys (Call me pedantic, but I consider Desmond John Humphrys to be his "full" name, rather than his "real" name. Likewise with others who use(d) their second given names, like John Richard Whiteley)
- 22:29, 17 December 2019 (hist) (diff) John Humphrys (→Trivia: tidied up about Splott and the Reverend Roger Royle)
- 22:25, 17 December 2019 (hist) (diff) John Humphrys (→Trivia: moved the bits about when and where John was born to the top. Not entirely necessary, I admit, but then they *are* about the very start of his life...)
- 21:35, 17 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Jamie Theakston (Theako is currently signed to M&C Saatchi Merlin - whose other clients include his Heart colleague Ashley Roberts, as well as Gethin Jones, Kirsty Gallacher and Sir Trevor McDonald)
- 20:04, 17 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Jason Bradbury (→Contact: Arlington dropped the "Enterprises" from its name a while back) (top)
- 04:27, 5 November 2019 (hist) (diff) Andi Peters (Shouldn't "Web Links" be the heading above the link to Andi's IMDb entry? Also added a link to his Wikipedia article)
- 04:19, 5 November 2019 (hist) (diff) Andi Peters (→Trivia: tidying up. Also, Andi was a victim of Noel's gunge and NTV over a decade before Celeb Masterchef came along, so I've put this bit first)
- 03:56, 5 November 2019 (hist) (diff) Andi Peters (→Biography: it's hard to talk about Andi's career without mentioning Phillip Schofield, Edd the Duck... and Piers Morgan)
- 03:17, 5 November 2019 (hist) (diff) Stu Francis (→Trivia: worth pointing out the date on which Stu, and Phil Collins, were born)
- 02:44, 5 November 2019 (hist) (diff) The Chase (The Chase has caught qualification for the Long-Running category, right?)
- 02:23, 5 November 2019 (hist) (diff) Jonathan Dimbleby (→Biography: specifically, Jonathan's three election night programmes for ITV were in 1997, 2001 and 2005. And David won't be in the hot seat for the Beeb's coverage of next month's election)
- 04:07, 11 October 2019 (hist) (diff) The Edge (After another reconsideration, explicitly stated that, for instance, deciding on two balls and landing on the Edge in one still only meant you won half of your money)
- 03:16, 11 October 2019 (hist) (diff) The Edge (Yet another caption change, for the picture from the final. With respect, there's only so many references to, ahem, balls that one can make...)
- 03:09, 11 October 2019 (hist) (diff) The Edge (Re-described the third round and the final, including clarifying that (for instance) deciding on two balls and landing on the Edge in one still only meant you won half of the money you had accumulated)
- 01:36, 11 October 2019 (hist) (diff) The Edge (Following a reconsideration, decided to refer to the lanes by their colours, rather than their lengths - while still making clear that the green lane was the shortest, followed by the blue lane)
- 04:49, 10 October 2019 (hist) (diff) The Edge (Re-described the second round, including clarifying that the money won in the first round didn't count (hence, you could bowl £1,000 in the first round and still be eliminated in the second round))
- 03:23, 10 October 2019 (hist) (diff) The Edge (Another caption change, this time for the picture of the contestants bowling. Again, the new caption features some of the lyrics from a TV show's theme tune - but this time, it's a non-game show...)
- 03:15, 10 October 2019 (hist) (diff) The Edge (Again, I hope no-one minds me re-describing the layout of each lane, and the rest of the first round)
- 02:29, 10 October 2019 (hist) (diff) The Edge (A new caption for the picture of the podiums. It still refers to GFG, but ends in "oh, balls", which one can interpret as an exclamation or as an observation of the round things on the podiums...)
- 02:08, 10 October 2019 (hist) (diff) The Edge (I hope Weaver and others don't mind me rewriting the first bit of the synopsis, adding a bit more detail as regards the set and the first quiz round (including mentioning the balls on each podium))
- 21:07, 8 October 2019 (hist) (diff) The Edge (I don't think it's necessary for the caption accompanying the picture of Mark to reference that video of that dog in Richmond Park...)
- 03:32, 28 September 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:Boomerang Productions (Probably no real need, but I've clarified that Boomerang is based in Cardiff)
- 02:01, 28 September 2019 (hist) (diff) Tenball (→Synopsis: tidied up regarding Tenball's two major differences from standard snooker, plus the special rules aimed at speeding things up; also further explained why 200 was the maximum break)
- 00:51, 28 September 2019 (hist) (diff) Tenball (→Synopsis: tidied the first two lines)
- 00:17, 28 September 2019 (hist) (diff) Tenball (→See also: added the year of Weaver's review - Tenball obviously *wasn't* a currently-running show when he reviewed it)
- 00:05, 28 September 2019 (hist) (diff) Can i Gymru (→Web links: "s4c.co.uk" ----> "s4c.cymru" and "offical" ----> "official")
- 23:53, 27 September 2019 (hist) (diff) It's Anybody's Guess (Basically, the same image of Paul's question card pose appears twice in this article - so I've replaced the version that doesn't show all of his card and all of his shirt, with the version that does) (top)
- 04:06, 25 September 2019 (hist) (diff) Main Page (→Game show news: rewrote the Alan Carr story, including mentioning the Channel 4 Price is Right one-off)
- 13:33, 17 September 2019 (hist) (diff) 3G Boss (→Broadcast: added parentheses, for consistency)
- 13:16, 17 September 2019 (hist) (diff) Aibisidh (→Web links: "officical" ----> "official")
- 13:11, 17 September 2019 (hist) (diff) John Junkin (→Trivia: tidied up regarding the PG Tips chimpanzee ads)
- 13:03, 17 September 2019 (hist) (diff) Impromptu (According to Genome, there were eight episodes, all airing on Monday nights (the first at 10pm, the others at 7:30))
