- 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)
