- 20:06, 16 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Lee Mack (The address for Lee's Avalon page has changed)
- 20:03, 16 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Lee Mack (Lee is a man of Lancashire - born in Southport and raised for a time in Blackburn, according to the majority of sources I've seen, although some suggest it was the other way round)
- 05:26, 16 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Rory Bremner (Rory is currently signed to PBJ Management, along with many other funny celebs)
- 05:15, 16 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Richard Ayoade (Ayoade was actually born in London (Hammersmith, to be precise), although he *was* raised in Ipswich. Also pointed out his parentage)
- 04:53, 16 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Richard Ayoade (Ayoade is currently signed to PBJ Management, along with many other comedians)
- 04:46, 16 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Alexander Armstrong (Xander is currently signed to PBJ Management, along with many other comedians including Rowan Atkinson, Lenny Henry, Vic 'n' Bob, and Richard Ayoade)
- 04:31, 16 January 2020 (hist) (diff) The Wager (If the TV listings in copies of The Guardian from July and August 2001 are anything to go by, there were only six episodes - all airing on Friday mornings as part of T4) (top)
- 23:35, 15 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Would I Lie to You? (1) (→Inventor: worth pointing out that the Truth or Consequences format was created by Ralph Edwards, who also created a certain show featuring a big red book (on this side of the Atlantic, anyway)) (top)
- 16:39, 12 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes (Since Andy Collins *hasn't* disappeared from public life, I've changed the caption accompanying his picture - inspired by the caption accompanying the pic of Dave Spikey in the Chain Letters article)
- 14:50, 1 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen (The question actually didn't feature the word "official" - so "One Out of Many" was sort of correct. But then again, so was "In God We Trust", even though it's not taken from any Latin source...)
- 03:34, 1 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Anna Ryder Richardson (Whoops... I inadvertently hit "Save Page" before I was completely satisfied with my summary for that last edit. Anyway, Arlington dropped the "Enterprises" from its name some time ago)
- 03:29, 1 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Anna Ryder Richardson (→Trivia: hardly needs to be said that there's another Anna Richardson on TV now. And she too is signed to Arlington, so there's even more reason not to confuse ARR with her///)
- 03:10, 1 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Andy Collins (→Biography: what's Andy up to these days? Answer: he presents the breakfast show on one of the Beeb's local radio stations)
- 02:37, 1 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Matthew Kelly (Probably no real need to point out where and when Matthew was born - but he *is* one of Urmston's finest...)
- 02:07, 1 January 2020 (hist) (diff) Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen (→Trivia: of course, LLB and his wife only won £500k on Millionaire after being offered a second £1m question. Nearly fourteen years later, they're still the show's biggest celeb winners)
- 18:45, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:HTV Productions (And finally, added the date on which HTV, along with Carlton, Granada and most of the other ITV stations, lost its on-air identity)
- 18:33, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:HTV Productions (Following a reconsideration, switched round "taken over" and "acquired". They do mean basically the same thing, but "acquired" sounds that bit better for "most of the company's assets")
- 18:18, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:HTV Productions (HTV was sold on to Granada in 2000, but the regulations of the time meant that Granada were forced to sell most of HTV's assets (including its licence) to Carlton Communications later that year)
- 18:08, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:HTV Productions (Added some more history: the acquistion by UNM, who of course also owned Meridian and Anglia)
- 17:42, 20 December 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:HTV Productions (In line with other ITV station categories, added some of HTV's history: when it came on air, when it changed its name from "Harlech" to "HTV", and when its Welsh-language programmes transferred to S4C)
