• 21:18, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: old news because it was yesterday, but I think it's still worth adding as the 'Juice does qualify for this site's Long-Running category...)
• 20:58, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: I hope I'm not being disrespectful here in adding Hilary's and Our Graham's respective ages. It's purely for the purpose of expanding these two stories ever so slightly)
• 20:46, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Sally Lindsay ‎ (Is it OK to change "actor" to "actress"? No sexism intended, of course. Also, Sally's very much a lady of Granadaland, so it's worth pointing out where in it she was born)
• 20:37, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right ‎ (→Catchphrases: with all due respect, folks, no-one likes what That Other Wiki (copyright Weaver) terms "edit wars"... Anyway, tidied up a bit regarding Bruce's "when I was a Chippendale..." quote)
• 15:13, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Trivia: added missing full stop :))
• 15:09, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Title music: changed "Title" to "Theme", again purely for consistency)
• 15:06, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: some more picture switching, so that the Chuckie Egg one immediately follows "The best way to explore games..." and the Tetris one immediately follows "Each week's final challenge...")
• 14:55, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: and putting the picture of the audience vote immediately below the line about it. Also, just in case people don't remember Brucie rapping on YB!...)
• 14:47, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: for instance, putting the picture of the rotating stage immediately below the line starting "And there's a gimmick...")
• 14:44, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: changed "revolving" to "rotating" purely for consistency. I intend to swap most, if not all, of these pictures around, so that - shall we say - they're better connected to the text)
• 14:35, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: AFAIK, Dara never made any Pointless references on this show, though obviously Ellie's role was not dissimilar to Richard's)
• 14:22, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: the You Bet! reference is obvious and natural, the Moment of Truth reference... not so much)
• 14:18, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: aren't those meant to be pixels rather than cubes?)
• 14:02, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Mousetrap ‎ (→Pictures: italicised the caption)
• 12:41, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Index W ‎ (→People: consistency for consistency's sake :))
• 12:29, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Jailbreak ‎ (Now we know the composer(s) of that wonderful Erasure-meets-Hammond organ music, courtesy of YouTube (what else?). Wonder if the full soundtrack is lurking around somewhere on the interwebs?)
• 12:15, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Perfection ‎ (Will Slater tends to provide the scores for 12 Yard shows, and this was no exception. He had a slightly unusual credit here, however)
• 11:25, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Champions: I trust it's not too soon to add the Series 85 champion. ;) I said that doing so would be fun, and so it's proved - in terms of rearranging the table, of course)
• 16:36, 8 June 2022 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (→Edit queries - June 2022: in case anyone's still wondering, the episode of Countdown that was supposed to be aired today (8 June) will not be aired for the foreseeable future)
• 16:25, 8 June 2022 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (Couldn't help but notice that we were stuck in a time warp... :))
• 16:06, 8 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Hit Me Baby One More Time ‎ (→Key Moments: italicised "Toxic" for consistency)
• 16:03, 8 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Hit Me Baby One More Time ‎ (→Participants: oopsie doodle)
• 16:00, 8 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Hit Me Baby One More Time ‎ (→Participants: with respect, I don't see any need to italicise the names of the singers/bands whose songs were covered)
• 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)
