- 15:11, 15 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Weaver's Week 2022-05-15 (...it wasn't clear to me. Sorry, Iain and Thomas. :( Feel perfectly free to change it back to "guests" again, however - and as ever, no disrespect intended in any way at any stage :))
- 00:59, 15 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Weaver's Week 2022-05-15 ("Too many bloviators from the fringes of current affairs, and not enough people who were friendly and welcoming; a similar complaint applied to the guests." I take it you meant "host", Iain :))
- 20:05, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right (→Catchphrases: Bruce would usually point out how important it was to get control of the board on a sudden-death question or a tiebreaker)
- 19:57, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right (→Synopsis: and if it got to one game each, it would be a tiebreaker that was played, to be pedantic ;))
- 19:47, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right (→Synopsis: should be pointed out, too, that a game went to sudden death if there was no winner after three questions)
- 19:24, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right (→Catchphrases: and more often than not, Bruce had to remind a couple getting a free go that they couldn't change the card they were on)
- 19:21, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right (→Synopsis: a couple had to guess higher or lower even if they changed the card, of course. And one very important rule was that a couple getting a free go didn't have the change option ;))
- 18:59, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right (→Synopsis: clarification as regards the survey questions; also clarified it's the couple answering first that gives a number and the couple answering second that guesses higher or lower)
- 18:31, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right (→Synopsis: there were a few couples in the '80s and '90s that hadn't yet tied the knot - and in 2002, brothers and sisters could play as well as husbands, wives, fiancés and fiancées)
- 18:25, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right (→Synopsis: in the '80s, couples attempted to win a car (and they weren't so fabulous back then, of course); in the '90s, a car and cash; and in 2002, cash only)
- 13:10, 11 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Tara Bethan (That should be Pobol Y *Cwm* ;))
- 22:01, 10 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Edith Bowman (Edith's been famous for quite a while now, and she still doesn't have a biography? Better put that right... :))
- 15:35, 10 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Countdown (If one wants to be pedantic, this will actually be Colin's *fourth* stint as host (after 21-23 December 2020, 13 January-9 February 2021, and 3-16 March 2021). But why quibble? ;))
- 14:56, 10 May 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive (Colin Murray will take Robbo's place on Countdown, at least on a temporary basis: https://twitter.com/ColinMurray/status/1523962488009764868. Why not give him the job full-time, if he wants it?)
- 14:22, 10 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Countdown (Colin will again be in the presenter's chair after Anne leaves, at least until the autumn: https://twitter.com/ColinMurray/status/1523962488009764868. Give him the job permanently, for heaven's sake)
- 20:13, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) National Lottery shows (→Synopsis: well, I guess we can safely assume now that Who Dares Wins is no more) (top)
- 19:52, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Meridian Productions (An expanded history. Admittedly more about Meridian's owners than Meridian itself - but then Meridian was a significant part of a media empire, rather like fellow 1993 ITV company Carlton TV) (top)
- 18:44, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Britain's Missing Top Model (→Winner: only one series and hence only one winner, so the year is superfluous)
- 18:40, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Love Productions (And here's Love's history too :))
- 18:36, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Love Productions (Here's the logo ;))
- 18:31, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) N File:LoveProductionsLogo.jpg (Love Productions' logo) (top)
- 18:19, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Studio Lambert Productions (In case anyone's wondering why it's called Studio Lambert... ;))
- 22:33, 1 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Weaver's Week (This smaller, less cumbersome image of the C4 logo doesn't inadvertently push the 2022 archive to the right and create an unattractive gap. Again, no disrespect intended towards Weaver or anyone :))
- 22:23, 1 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Weaver's Week 2022-05-01 (I wouldn't ever dream of rewriting Weaver's articles, of course - but I can't fight the urge to add a smaller, and less cumbersome, image of the C4 logo. As ever, no disrespect intended towards anyone) (top)
- 22:14, 1 May 2022 (hist) (diff) N File:Channel 4 logo Horseferry Road.jpg (The Channel 4 logo as seen on the channel's HQ at 124 Horseferry Road, London) (top)
- 23:46, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Ejector Seat (→Catchphrases: not *every* contestant was called John, of course ;)) (top)
- 23:44, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Ejector Seat (→Synopsis: "whoever's left *after* five right answers loses" sounds better)
- 23:42, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Ejector Seat (Add this to the already large list of shows for which Mr Sylvan has been the music composer... ;) Also worth pointing out where it was recorded)
- 22:40, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Jon Snow (Jon signed off from Channel 4 News for the final time last December) (top)
- 22:32, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Let's Play Darts (→Participants: Bobby George's son is called Richie, not Robbie ;))
- 22:28, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Let's Play Darts (→Participants: corrected the respective spellings of Roisin Conaty's surname and (for 2015) Deta Hedman's first name)
- 22:24, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Let's Play Darts (→Trivia: just in case anyone who isn't familiar with darts doesn't know where the Lakeside is. Also, the BDO went under in 2020)
- 22:08, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Magic Numbers (Messrs Bolam and Foster composed the music, and had a rather unusual credit (see 47:04 in this YouTube vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN-g8jQd0cU&ab_channel=Kym-Marsh.com))
- 21:54, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Walk the Line (Does Walk the Line qualify for the Big Prize category on account of its half-million jackpot - or is this contentious?)
- 21:48, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) No Win, No Fee (Not easy to make out the music composer's name in the credits at the end of the video, due to the poor quality of the tape - but here it is nonetheless :)) (top)

- 21:21, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) The Ultimate West Wing Challenge (I don't think The West Wing ever did what (The) Weakest Link did and went without the definite article in its name... did it?) (top)
- 21:18, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Index U (→Shows: I don't think The West Wing dropped the definite article from its name at any point... did it?)
- 21:14, 21 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Index U (Changed both instances of "Stunt/dare show" to "Stunts and dares", to match the name of the corresponding category)

- 22:33, 15 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Mastermind (Shouldn't that be "a few more months under his *belt*"?)
- 03:58, 10 April 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Champions: tidied and updated the paragraph under the table of Paxman Era champs)
- 03:25, 10 April 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Champions: I don't think I'd be spoiling things too much if I added the latest champs (and, of course, the person that presented the trophy) nearly a week after the final... ;))
- 03:19, 10 April 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Champions: bolded all the sub-headings, as per the Mastermind article's own Champions section)
- 03:16, 10 April 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Champions: and, again, added non-breaking spaces to widen the Series column and thus make the table that bit more presentable)
- 03:15, 10 April 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Champions: may as well put the Bamber Era champs into a proper table too, albeit one with only two columns rather than three)
- 03:06, 10 April 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Champions: added non-breaking spaces after the respective longest entries in the Series and Champions columns of the table of Paxman Era champs, to make the table that bit more presentable)
- 03:02, 10 April 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (And should Trin Cam be listed as champs for 1994-95, Imperial for 1995-96, and so on? Among other things, the current trophy lists the champions by split year, rather than just the year of the final)
- 02:49, 10 April 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (I wonder, too, should the Paxman Era champions be in a proper table - with separate columns for the series, the champions themselves, and the guests that presented the trophy)
- 02:07, 10 April 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (Should the Bamber Era champions and Paxman Era champions be separated? Among other things, I'm fairly sure no guests were invited on in the Bamber Era to present the champions with their prize)
- 15:05, 8 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Granada Productions (Both the Yorkshire area and Yorkshire TV are mentioned in the second paragraph, so it's probably a good idea to make extra clear which one is being mentioned in the third paragraph)
- 14:51, 8 April 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive (→Game show news: oopsie doodle)
- 14:51, 8 April 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive (→Game show news: Richard Osman leaving daytime Pointless is pretty big news, even if the show isn't as big as it once was)

- 02:15, 5 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Saturday Night Takeaway (→Broadcast: SNT is now under ITV Studios' Lifted Entertainment label. Looks like the last few episodes of last year's series were the first ones under this label, but can someone confirm this?)
- 02:00, 5 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Love Island (→Host: putting Patrick Kielty's respective co-hosts on separate lines is neater, IMO)

- 01:13, 5 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Countdown (I'm going to be bold and create a Lifted Entertainment category. If other ITV Studios labels like Potato can have their own categories then why can't Lifted? ;))
- 00:58, 5 April 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (The final regular episode of the Bamber Era aired on Friday 4 September 1987, the second game in the best-of-three between Keble and Univ Oxford (Keble won both games, so the third game wasn't needed))
- 00:52, 5 April 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Broadcast: the first episode of the series just ended was the first under ITV Studios' Lifted Entertainment label)
- 00:42, 5 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Countdown (→Champions: added the Series 83 and Series 84 champions. Adding the Series 85 champion, when (s)he is known, will be fun... ;))
- 00:23, 5 April 2022 (hist) (diff) Countdown (→Broadcast: Countdown came under ITV Studios' Lifted Entertainment label during Nick's last series - thanks to All 4 for keeping up every episode since the start of 2021 :))

- 16:18, 31 March 2022 (hist) (diff) Greed (Again with the greatest of respect, Simon, not giving an explanation here is not helpful (believe me, I take no pleasure whatsoever in saying that). What's wrong with "https" and the padlock symbol?)
- 16:09, 31 March 2022 (hist) (diff) Matt Dawson (Now that Dawson's no longer a QoS captain...)
- 22:54, 30 March 2022 (hist) (diff) Take the Plunge (Undo revision 86504 by Showells (Talk) As explained, different transmission dates on Anglia and Central; hence the "but see Trivia")
