• 12:43, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Have I Got News for You ‎ (→Host: list of guest hosts updated to the end of Series 63)
• 12:24, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) The Answer Trap ‎ ("A small improvement here would be for Anita to actually read out all the answers..." Since the show's not coming back, I wonder if this bit should be in the past tense?)
• 13:16, 22 August 2022 (hist) (diff) The Krypton Factor ‎ (A slight rewrite of this paragraph - clarifying that Alison Heath finished runner-up in that '87 final, and that both of the revival's finals were all-male)
• 13:01, 22 August 2022 (hist) (diff) The Krypton Factor ‎ (Perhaps "champion" might be a better word than "winner" in this paragraph - particularly as regards Ms Chanter's achievement, as plenty of other ladies won heats and Group Finals)
• 12:45, 22 August 2022 (hist) (diff) The Krypton Factor ‎ (David Lee was 21 when he became the 1988 UK Superperson - unless, of course, he lied about his age: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A3W3bP7N-Q&ab_channel=SlavaUkraini)
• 09:57, 18 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ ("Maybe Stephen Mangan could succeed John Humphrys as the show's main host sometime in the future?" He won't now)
• 06:45, 17 August 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (And of course, the official title of that Britney song has only four words, not six ;))
• 06:43, 17 August 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (Yesterday *was* a busy day news-wise, wasn't it? Anyway, here's the Darius story again with improved vocab, plus a mention of Popstar to Operastar. And God rest him)
• 06:35, 17 August 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (I obviously don't intend to be disrespectful to Darius, his family or anyone else here - but, Simon, there *is* a better way of going about this *and* you know it...)
• 17:55, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Golden Balls ‎ (→Trivia: so many shows were recorded at BBC Television Centre prior to its redevelopment - and Golden Balls, despite not being a Beeb show, was one of them ;))
• 17:43, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Golden Balls ‎ (→Theme music: Marc Sylvan's credit was plain "Music", so I assume he composed the full score ;))
• 17:38, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Golden Balls ‎ (→Trivia: italicised titles as appropriate)
• 17:35, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Golden Balls ‎ (→Trivia: I'm assuming that the potential £168,100 jackpot on 11 February '08 was still the largest when the show ended, though I'm happy to be proven wrong ;))
• 17:30, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Golden Balls ‎ (May I add that the 'Balls also came joint third in the vote for the Worst New Show of '07? It's not often that a new show places top five in both the Hall of Fame *and* the Hall of Shame, after all ;))
• 15:17, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Index M ‎ (→People: now that Clive Myrie has a UKGS profile... ;))
• 15:15, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (→Host: I've just created Clive's UKGS profile ;))
• 15:15, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) N Clive Myrie ‎ (Clive hosts Mastermind and is HIGNFY's 118th guest host - so he qualifies for a profile on here. ;) Can it also be pointed out which football team he supports?) (top)
• 15:08, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) N File:CliveMyrie.jpg ‎ (top)
• 14:13, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (Expanded the Duggie Brown article slightly. Since Free Spin was nearly half a century ago, it probably should be pointed out that it was a Radio 2 show. I think 3-2-1 should be mentioned, too ;))
• 14:05, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (All we need is five, five, five is all we need... ;))
• 13:54, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Deal or No Deal ‎ (Well, DOND *was* a Remarkable show at the end of its life... ;))
• 12:50, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Showbiz Blackjack ‎ (Obviously, the site closed ages ago - and all the Wayback Machine has of it is the home page's text. None of the other pages were archived, and nor were any of the site's images. Shame, really) (top)
• 12:28, 16 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Index 0-9 ‎ (Changed "Action/adventure" to "Action and adventure", to match the name of the corresponding category)
• 20:27, 8 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Index Y ‎ (→Shows: Y Talwrn is a Radio Cymru show, so it qualifies for the Regional (Wales) genre ;))
• 20:24, 8 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Index Y ‎ (Some re-ordering of genres, mainly to put the Regional (area) genre last. As before, purely for consistency's sake ;))
• 20:18, 8 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Index X ‎ (Changed "Action/adventure" to "Action and adventure", to match the name of the corresponding category) (top)
• 20:16, 8 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Index W ‎ (Changed all instances of "Action/adventure" to "Action and adventure", again for consistency and to match the name of the corresponding category)
• 19:37, 6 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Noel's House Party ‎ (→Trivia: "When RTL4 were making their own Dutch version of NHP" -> "When Dutch station RTL4 was making its own version of NHP", which IMO flows a bit better)
• 19:30, 6 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Noel's House Party ‎ (Undo revision 91930 by Showells (Talk) No-one likes edit wars - and it's also not good when an edit is not explained when it should be...)
• 19:27, 6 August 2022 (hist) (diff) The Generation Game ‎ (Undo revision 91931 by Showells (Talk) Oh, here we go with another potential edit war...)
• 14:34, 2 August 2022 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (→Edit queries - August 2022: should Opportunity Knocks be on the list of shows in Darren Day's article? He was a contestant on it, but he wasn't famous beforehand)
• 15:33, 1 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Index U ‎ (Changed "Action/adventure" to "Action and adventure", again to match the name of the corresponding category)
• 00:20, 31 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Impact of COVID-19 ‎ (Eh? Much as the new QoS is very different to the old one with Sue, Matt and Phil, it's still the same production by the same company at the same location, and with more or less the same theme tune too)
• 17:13, 30 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Scary Sleepover ‎ (The quality of the video of the second ep (just the one team in this one) is such that the credits - including the name of the music composer - are easier to read than in the video of the first ep ;)) (top)
• 17:08, 30 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Scary Sleepover ‎ (Guess what, YouTube has not one, but two full episodes... ;) Here's the first of those, featuring two teams (in such episodes, did it ever happen that *both* teams failed?))
• 14:44, 30 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Index T ‎ (Some more re-ordering of genres, mainly to put the Regional (area) genre last. I'm a bit of a stickler for consistency, unfortunately... ;))
• 14:33, 30 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Index T ‎ (Traed Oer only aired on S4C, so it qualifies for the Regional (Wales) genre ;))
• 14:31, 30 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Index T ‎ (Changed all instances of "Action/adventure" to "Action and adventure", again to match the name of the corresponding category)
• 14:21, 30 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Survival of the Fittest (2) ‎ (→Trivia: this article is fairly short, so I think only one link to the Love Island article is necessary. ;) May as well point out when it was that Laura took over from Caroline as LI host, too) (top)
• 13:58, 30 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Survival of the Fittest (2) ‎ (→Synopsis: "the ITV press office *promised*", since it was four years ago now ;))
• 13:55, 30 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Index S ‎ (Changed all instances of "Action/adventure" - yes, all fourteen of them - to "Action and adventure", again to match the name of the corresponding category)
• 00:39, 30 July 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (With all due respect, Simon and Thomas, I think we may be jumping the gun here... the BBC is only in talks with MGM according to the Guardian, and the Beeb itself has nothing yet on its site)
• 17:54, 29 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Index R ‎ (Risg was only shown on S4C, so qualifies for the Regional (Wales) genre. And The Raw Deal was a BBC Radio Scotland show, so it must qualify for the Radio genre ;))
• 17:43, 29 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Index R ‎ (Changed all instances of "Action/adventure" to "Action and adventure", again to match the name of the corresponding category)
• 17:40, 29 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Index R ‎ (Changed all instances of "Stunt/dare show" and plain "Stunts" to "Stunts and dares", for consistency across the page and to match the name of the corresponding category)
• 13:28, 29 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Index Q ‎ (Changed "Action/adventure" to "Action and adventure", to match the name of the corresponding category)
• 17:44, 28 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Index P ‎ (Some re-ordering of genres here and there, mainly putting the Childrens genre first and the Regional (area) genre last. Once again, purely for consistency's sake - as ever, no disrespect intended ;))
• 17:32, 28 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Index P ‎ (Changed all instances of "Action/adventure" and plain "Adventure" to "Action and adventure", again for consistency and to match the name of the corresponding category)
• 17:29, 28 July 2022 (hist) (diff) Index P ‎ ("Point of view, also: POV". No disrespect intended, but as POV is the initialism I'd substitute "for short" for "also")
• 17:20, 28 July 2022 (hist) (diff) O Fan i Fan ‎ (No eps or clips on YouTube at present, it appears - but while we're waiting, here's the translation of the title ;))
