• 23:59, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (→Edit queries - September 2022: full agreement with Thomas. If by chance I'm coming across as being a bit obnoxious here, it's not intended :))
• 23:40, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (→Edit queries - September 2022: just seen Thomas's edits)
• 23:29, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (→Edit queries - September 2022: talking about The Voice UK again, but this time about the presenters and how they should be styled)
• 22:54, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) The Voice UK ‎ (Sorry, Simon, but at this point I must disagree. IMO, "Presenter X (yr1-yr3) (and Co-Presenter A from yr1-yr2)" is the untidy way, while the other way is the tidy one. Will raise on the Staffers page)
• 21:33, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Recipe for success: the image is from the 1987 series, where they went back to the usual split-screen effect after just one series of "one team really above the other" malarkey)
• 21:15, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (→Edit queries - September 2022: as regards UC, everything's separated out now)
• 20:28, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Broadcast: finally, the Christmas series. Ten episodes in each series bar the first, which had only eight)
• 19:12, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Broadcast: this probably doesn't matter - but I suppose they *have* been "BBC One" and "BBC Two", rather than "BBC1" and "BBC2", since 4 October 1997... ;))
• 18:59, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (Here's the Professionals series. This infobox - to borrow a Wikipedia term - is getting pretty long, but I suppose that's inevitable for a 60-year-old show that's had so many spin-offs and specials ;))
• 18:36, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (Here, then, is the Reunited series. I'm pretty sure this was always intended to be a one-off series, so I'd argue that there's no great need to say "in 1 series" here. Feel free to disagree, though :))
• 18:17, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (There was the Reunited series, there were five Professionals series, there have been eleven Christmas series so far (the last one under Lifted)... perhaps everything should be separated out here)
• 17:41, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (I've added the episode, series and special count for Lifted as of the end of the 2021-22 series. These can be updated at each series' end, and un-commented out if the production company changes again)
• 17:34, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Broadcast: the 2019 Comic Relief special and the 2020 CIN special were under ITV Studios too, while the 2021 CIN special was under Lifted)
• 17:16, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Broadcast: assuming "Universe Challenge" counts (why shouldn't it?), this was made by Grant Naylor rather than Granada: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSoQJKyM8Sg&ab_channel=GreatApocryphator)
• 16:54, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Broadcast: Sean Blanchflower's site lists 13 specials between 1994 and 2009 - including the two Comic Relief ones with Angus Deayton, and six as part of mini celeb tournaments in 2004 and 2005)
• 16:44, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Broadcast: there was also the special "Champion of Champions" episode on 19 April 2014 - a Saturday, interestingly - between Magdalen Oxford and Manchester)
• 16:38, 11 September 2022 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (Thank you, Jenny. :) And Simon, buddy, no disrespect, but it *is* possible *and* easy to be more careful when editing in the future... :) Anyway, every regular series since 2009-10 has had 37 episodes)
• 23:06, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! ‎ ("Louise Minchin from BBC Breakfast Time"... I assume, and accept, that this was a joke. Trouble is, when it's Breakfast *Time* I automatically think of Frank and Selina... No disrespect intended, obvs)
• 22:11, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Fastest Finger First ‎ (No disrespect, Thomas, but I don't think Brexit jokes work here... :( Anyway, had that tortilla (mmmm... :)) question been for £2,000 or greater, then obviously John wouldn't have gone home with zilch)
• 21:50, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Fastest Finger First ‎ (→Trivia: "52% of people being wrong - that's never happened before has it?" Hasn't it happened before that *81%* of the audience have been wrong?)
• 17:44, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Index B ‎ (Wouldn't Big Star's Little Star (Big S-t...) come between Big 7 (Big S-e...) and Big Ticket (Big T...)?)
• 15:18, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (→Edit queries - September 2022: perhaps I should admit another reason why I changed the style of the single-decade year ranges on The Voice UK's article (with no disrespect intended, of course)...)
• 14:19, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Dress to Impress ‎ (→Trivia: spelling out "two" is more formal than using the digit. Feel free to call me a fusspot...)
• 13:58, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) The Voice UK ‎ (→Synopsis: I'm well aware that this isn't *my* wiki, but I simply can't help but refine here and there... In particular, there's no colon in MediaCityUK ;))
• 12:15, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) The Voice UK ‎ (→Co-hosts: the same here. The grown-up version's coaching line-up has always been three men and one woman, yet there have now been as many female coaches as male ones... No sexism intended, obvs)
• 12:00, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) The Voice UK ‎ (→Host: I wonder if, when stating year ranges within a single decade, the last two digits of the end year should be stated (so 2014-16, instead of just 2014-6)? Seems to be the convention elsewhere)
• 11:52, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) The Voice UK ‎ (→Host: this change is probably unnecessary - but IMO, it makes crystal clear that the show always had two presenters in the BBC era, and that Emma has always been the sole presenter in the ITV era)
• 11:41, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) The Voice UK ‎ (Is it *really* ten years since those spinning red chairs arrived in Blighty? Good heavens... They probably won't be spinning for much longer, mind)
• 03:43, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Walk the Line ‎ (Isn't Syco styled with a small 'c' rather than a capital 'C'? In any case, no great need for a Syco category when all of its shows are Cowell's work and this is reflected in his UKGS profile ;))
• 03:37, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Walk the Line ‎ (→Broadcast: since Lifted has its own category, I suppose there's no great need to point out here that it's part of ITV Studios. Cuts down on parentheses, too ;))
• 02:09, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Dancing on Ice ‎ (→Host: after Phil and Holly, I think I would put all the other hosts in strict chronological order of their respective debuts, so to speak - so Coleen precedes Christine, and Stephen comes last)
• 01:57, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Dancing on Ice ‎ (→Broadcast: and there were ten episodes in the 2022 series)
• 01:55, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Dancing on Ice ‎ (There were ten episodes in each of the 2018, 2019 and 2020 series, and eight in the 2021 series. Good thing, perhaps, that the results aren't broadcast separately from the main shows these days...)
• 01:33, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Dancing on Ice ‎ (Oops, forgot to re-add this to the Lifted category...)
• 01:31, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Dancing on Ice ‎ (→Broadcast: what *is* certain, however, is that there have been five series so far since the 2018 return, and that the entire 2022 series was under Lifted)
• 01:24, 10 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Dancing on Ice ‎ (Did the 2021 final go out under ITV Studios or Lifted? The change took place around the time this final was broadcast - which I didn't watch, and which doesn't seem to be anywhere on the Net at the mo)
• 23:50, 9 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Saturday Night Takeaway ‎ (→Broadcast: nine series thus far since 2013, with seven episodes in each series bar 2018, which had only six)
• 23:46, 9 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Saturday Night Takeaway ‎ (I have said before that the last few episodes of the 2021 series look to have been the first ones under Lifted. Can someone confirm or disprove this, *and* summarise as well (no disrespect intended)?)
• 19:24, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Before They Were Famous ‎ ("...with Alexandra Burke pictured at the bottom right". I'm probably being ultra fussy here (without intending to be disrespectful, of course), but I see no great need for the word "pictured" ;))
• 19:20, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Before They Were Famous ‎ (→Music: the bit about the Star for a Night junior one-off is *immediately* below the corresponding picture, and so I see no great need for a link to the show's article in the picture's caption)
• 19:13, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Before They Were Famous ‎ (→Music: the sentence about Alexandra Burke can be shorter, and less repetitive (no disrespect intended, of course) :))
• 18:56, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Before They Were Famous ‎ (→Actors/Presenters/Broadcasters: "Actor, presenter and The X Factor judge Amanda Holden..." Oops, wrong Syco show ;))
• 18:53, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Before They Were Famous ‎ (→Actors/Presenters/Broadcasters: ...and likewise with Stephen Fry. ;) Worth pointing out his team nearly won that particular series, too)
• 18:48, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Before They Were Famous ‎ (Miriam Margolyes appeared on the very first series of UC, in fact (1962-3). And to save people the hassle of going elsewhere to find out which college she represented... :))
• 18:33, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Before They Were Famous ‎ (Sorted Aaron Bell's game show achievements chronologically. I remember his DOND appearance well, because he played the day before Lucy Harrington, who did a record 50 shows yet only won a fiver)
• 16:25, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Limitless Win ‎ (→Theme music: ...juuuust in case anyone's wondering "*That* Gary Barlow? Really?" ;))
• 16:18, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Limitless Win ‎ (→Catchphrases: shouldn't there be quotation marks here?)
• 15:52, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Strictly Come Dancing ‎ (→Participants: added the link to Robert Webb's article)
• 15:51, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Robert Webb ‎ (→Shows: Robert took part in the 2021 series of Strictly, but had to withdraw early on due to ill health) (top)
• 15:47, 7 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Suzi Perry ‎ (→Contact: Suzi's now signed to Crown Talent Group, whose other clients include Dan Walker and Craig Doyle) (top)
