- 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)
- 14:51, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:Carlton Productions (Carlton's parent company had become a media juggernaut by 2000, so it's worth mentioning the acquisitions of Central, Westcountry and Action Time (which, of course, made Catchphrase for Carlton))
- 13:22, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:Carlton Productions (Pointed out the exact date on which Carlton replaced Thames as the ITV London weekday station)
- 12:40, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes (→Synopsis: if one is being pedantic, Les was the host of the second incarnation, while Max was the second host of the first incarnation. Might be better to say what number hosts they were overall)
- 11:56, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:LWT Productions (Pointed out the exact date on which LWT began broadcasting; also pointed out its takeover by Granada and the loss of its on-air identity) (top)
- 11:40, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) You'd Better Believe It (→Synopsis: "a excursion" ----> "an excursion")
- 11:35, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:Channel Islands (Made the definition slightly more formal, and mentioned the now-defunct Channel Television (which produced all four shows listed)) (top)
- 01:23, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:ATV Productions (Pointed out that ATV was the second ITV station to go on air; also pointed out the respective dates on which it began broadcasting to London at weekends and the Midlands on Mondays to Fridays)
- 01:19, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:ATV Productions (Pointed out the exact date on which ATV went the full week in the Midlands, and clarified that the ITV franchises were reorganised at this time (which also involved Granadaland being split in two))
- 01:00, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Category:ATV Productions (Pointed out the exact date on which ATV became Central, and that the restructuring was done in order to place more focus on the Midlands (ATV wasn't particularly renowned for its local programming))
- 00:21, 21 August 2019 (hist) (diff) Greed (→Web links: the Buzzerblog link to Shaun Wallace's appearance is no more (and Flash Player was required to view the clip anyway). Fortunately, the clip found its way to YouTube in January 2012)
