• 15:39, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Index W ‎ (→People: added Dan Walker)
• 15:39, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Strictly Come Dancing ‎ (→Participants: I've just created Dan Walker's UKGS profile ;))
• 15:37, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Chase the Case ‎ (I've just created Dan's UKGS profile ;))
• 15:37, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) N Dan Walker ‎ (Dan's presented Chase the Case and done Strictly, and that certainly qualifies him for a UKGS profile. ;) I've also pointed out the agency he's signed to, if this is still allowed) (top)
• 15:30, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) N File:DanWalker.jpg ‎ (top)
• 14:40, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Theme music: blimey, the Balanescu Quartet's version has been used for 22 years now... what are the chances of a new version when Amol takes over the host's chair?)
• 14:19, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Money Pit ‎ (→Theme music: plain "Music" is a common credit, so this sentence can be shorter ;))
• 14:05, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) RuPaul ‎ (→Trivia: may I add his full name?)
• 13:59, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Prickly Heat ‎ (→Host: "Presenter X with: Co-Presenter A (yr1-yr2), Co-Presenter B (yr2-yr3)" looks that bit better than "Presenter X (and Co-Presenter A from yr1-yr2 / Co-Presenter B from yr2-yr3)", IMO) (top)
• 01:10, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Twenty Twenty Productions ‎ (Did I change "Shows" at the start to "Productions"? Oops... I meant "Programmes", of course :))
• 01:03, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Twenty Twenty Productions ‎ (Tidied the last sentence. The acquisition of Shed by Time Warner (as was) took place in 2010)
• 00:55, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Twenty Twenty Productions ‎ (Twenty Twenty produces such shows as First Dates now, but it used to specialise in current affairs documentaries - Claudia Milne, who left when Shed took over, had previously worked on World in Action)
• 00:45, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Twenty Twenty Productions ‎ (Mentioned the founders. You might get an idea why in my next edit... ;))
• 23:56, 6 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Let's Dance ‎ (→Participants: here's the 2017 line-up)
• 23:06, 6 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Let's Dance ‎ (→Champions: we're off to see the Chasers, the wonderful Chasers of Oz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUYo5CmWdfw&ab_channel=BBC)
• 22:55, 6 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Let's Dance ‎ (→Synopsis: updated to 2017. Obviously, the two series in even-numbered years were for Sport Relief ;))
• 20:40, 6 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Let's Dance ‎ (→Synopsis: clarified that the judging panel in the first series was ADB plus two guests)
• 20:29, 6 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Let's Dance ‎ (→Synopsis: I don't think "Comic Relief" needs to be italicised - it *is* a charity rather than a TV programme, after all. ;) For that matter, I see no great need to italicise "Sport Relief" either)
• 20:22, 6 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Let's Dance ‎ ("Presenter X (yr1-yr3) with: Co-Presenter A (yr1-yr2), Co-Presenter B (yr2-yr3)" is neater, I think, than "Presenter X (yr1-yr3) (and Co-Presenter A from yr1-yr2 / Co-Presenter B from yr2-yr3)")
• 21:20, 5 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Survivor ‎ (→Trivia: a bit fussy, but I've moved the word "while" in the last sentence. The Beeb version will probably be in a third location, and of course the CBS version used to change location each season)
• 21:11, 5 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Survivor ‎ (→Trivia: and her PYCR appearance was in 1999. Thanks for repeating it over and over, Challenge... ;))
• 21:08, 5 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Survivor ‎ (→Co-hosts: Charlotte Hobrough's surname is only eight letters long ;))
• 21:07, 5 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Survivor ‎ (...should we wait until it's actually in production? Also, this probably won't happen, but it *could* be produced and then get locked away in a BBC vault never to see the light of day...)
• 21:01, 5 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: come to think of it, "the Beeb has spoken" is even better, isn't it? Tribe, Beeb... both one-syllable words ending with a 'b' sound ;))
• 21:00, 5 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (Yes, I've rather rewritten this story. In particular, I think it should be mentioned that it'll be a Remarkable production for BBC1. Any bits that sound too snarky, feel free to remove or sweeten :))
• 20:40, 5 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: this might be a better headline, based on "the tribe has spoken, you must leave")
• 20:37, 5 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: as I said before - and again without any disrespect intended - images in this section are usually squares rather than rectangles)
• 20:34, 5 September 2022 (hist) (diff) N File:Square Survivor UK Logo.jpg ‎ (Square image of the original Survivor UK logo) (top)
• 22:27, 1 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: no disrespect intended, but there's a good reason why the images in this section are usually squares rather than vertical rectangles...)
• 22:24, 1 September 2022 (hist) (diff) N File:Square bill turnbull.jpg ‎ (Square image of Bill Turnbull) (top)
• 22:14, 1 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: Bill presented Breakfast for *only* fifteen years. Dan Walker replaced him in 2016)
• 21:14, 1 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Key moments: that incident with Messrs Turnbull and McGinty was in the 2012 series: https://www.blanchflower.org/uc/results_christmas.html#christmas2012)
• 21:36, 29 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Rebound ‎ (→Trivia: that's future *Chaser*, right? ;)) (top)
• 23:22, 26 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (→Celebrity Mastermind: blimey, Monty Don as well ;))
• 23:19, 26 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (→Celebrity Mastermind: Toyah has a UKGS article too, I notice ;))
• 23:15, 26 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (→Celebrity Mastermind: added non-breaking spaces after the respective longest names in each of the first four columns, to make the list that bit more presentable)
• 23:06, 26 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (→Celebrity Mastermind: at least nine other celebs in this list have UKGS articles. I expect a few more will qualify for an article at some point, too ;))
• 22:48, 26 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (→Celebrity Mastermind: that should be *Graeme* Le Saux ;))
• 22:32, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (Isn't it the Beeb as a whole that's reviving Gladiators, rather than the specific channel it'll be on? (Same with Sky in 2008.) Also pointed out the number of episodes that will be made)
• 16:51, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (And of course, it happened at least three times that the non-dart player achieved the 101 with just two throws - and *any* non-dart player could do it, as the video I've added (from 1986) demonstrates)
• 15:56, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (...but it certainly did happen at least twice that the non-dart player scored 60 or 70, and the dart player then threw two single or treble 1s and a single 20. And it *was* painful on both occasions)
• 15:51, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Key moments: AFAIK, it never *quite* happened that the non-dart player scored 97 and the dart player then blew it by throwing three single 1s...)
• 15:30, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (Only from the fourth series (1984-85) onwards did Greeny cry out "It's a bullseye! And here's your host, Jim Bowen!" at the start. See, Challenge repeating the show to death *isn't* so bad... ;))
• 13:52, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) The Big Big Talent Show ‎ (→Trivia: a live element in the whole of the first series but only in the final of the second series, and the same with phone votes... this bit can be described in fewer words, then ;)) (top)
• 13:30, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) The Big Big Talent Show ‎ (→Synopsis: the second sentence of the fourth paragraph can be pruned)
• 13:25, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) The Big Big Talent Show ‎ (→Synopsis: GB's mentioned in both the second and the second-last paragraph, and I've just linked to his article - so there's probably no need to say "from tabloid rag The Sun" any more)
• 12:59, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) The Big Big Talent Show ‎ (→Synopsis: there are links to Wossy's and Ed Byrne's articles in this section, but no link to Garry Bushell's article... better put that right. And no, I wouldn't wipe my bottom with The Sun)
• 12:53, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) The Big Big Talent Show ‎ (→Synopsis: removed superfluous parentheses from the third paragraph)
• 12:46, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Jon Richardson ‎ (→Shows: Jon is HIGNFY's 122nd and, at the time of writing, latest guest host)
• 12:44, 25 August 2022 (hist) (diff) Miles Jupp ‎ (→Shows: Miles is HIGNFY's 121st guest host)
