• 04:38, 22 February 2023 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (There was a gamble in 1990 where the NDP scored 69 and the DP threw 20, 1, 8 (making 98). Certainly one thing these painful gambles had in common was that the DP threw one single or treble 1 too many)
• 01:59, 26 January 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Broadcast: updated Christmas episode and series counts under Lifted)
• 01:47, 26 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Champions: is six days too soon to add the sixteenth Champion of Champions...? ;))
• 00:21, 10 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Miscellaneous: Rachel's not so new now, of course - but the person who anagrammed RELAUNCH into NURACHEL on her, Jeff's and the first blue set's debut is still a genius all these years later ;))
• 00:04, 10 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Miscellaneous: series 60's GF also had an apposite conundrum - not referring to the departure of any presenters, but to the fact that this was the final episode recorded in Leeds)
• 23:54, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Miscellaneous: the ERACLOSES conundrum was more of a reference to Carol's departure from the show after 26 years, though of course Desso left with her)
• 23:41, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Miscellaneous: pretty apposite conundrum scrambles for Jeff Stelling's and Nick Hewer's respective last shows too, IMO... ;))
• 23:23, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Champions: always fun rearranging the table of regular series champs after each series... ;))
• 22:47, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Weaver's Week 2012-01-15 ‎ (If it's all right with IW, there's one little correction I'd like to make here: Bob's SNT appearance was in 2004. Westlife, the Pet Shop Boys and Sally Lindsay were in this particular episode too ;)) (top)
• 19:49, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Cooking With the Stars ‎ (→Participants: can't go without what they're known for, can we? ;) Thanks to Woody Cook, I've got "The Rockafeller Skank" playing in my head now...)
• 19:32, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Cooking With the Stars ‎ (→Participants: if CWTS does go on for several more years, I assume it will continue to be annual like Strictly and I'm A Celeb. Makes perfect sense to list the participants by year, in that case)
• 19:15, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Cooking With the Stars ‎ (→Broadcast: the second series aired between 7 June and 12 July 2022 (again, six episodes). Any word yet on a third series?)
• 19:06, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Category:South Shore Productions ‎ (And here's South Shore's logo)
• 19:02, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) N File:SouthShoreLogo.jpg ‎ (The logo of South Shore Productions) (top)
• 18:56, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Cooking With the Stars ‎ (CWTS is probably South Shore's biggest game show production thus far)
• 18:52, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) The Greatest Snowman ‎ (→Participants: added link to LLB's profile)
• 18:49, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) The Greatest Snowman ‎ (South Shore have been fairly busy the last two years or so as regards shows that can be called game... ;))
• 18:42, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Don't Rock the Boat ‎ (I'd like to know where South Shore got the notion to rock the boat... ;) Was this the first game show they produced?)
• 18:37, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Flipping Fast ‎ (South Shore are behind quite a few of the new shows of 2022... ;))
• 18:34, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Aldi's Next Big Thing ‎ (Not the only new show of 2022 that's a South Shore production... ;))
• 18:33, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) N Category:South Shore Productions ‎ (South Shore appears to be a true indie - not part of ITV Studios, Banijay, Fremantle, All3Media or any other production company group)
• 18:28, 9 January 2023 (hist) (diff) Field of Dreams ‎ (I'm back. :) When sifting through 2022's new shows, I couldn't help but notice that quite a few of them are South Shore productions... ;))
• 00:04, 29 September 2022 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (→Edit queries - September 2022: I'm taking a break from editing for a while)
• 22:48, 28 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (Simon, why do you find it so difficult to accept how this article is worded? Sort out any obvious errors in it, by all means. But wording you just don't agree with? Better off putting up with it, IMHO)
• 22:38, 28 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (I hate to say this, Simon - but if this was Wikipedia, you'd be well on your way to being blocked for edit warring *and* for ownership of content. And no-one would be happy about that, would they?)
• 20:18, 28 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Catchphrases: darn, forgot that dart players at the Prize Board would also be told by Greeny to make their last three darts count. To quote Rag'n'Bone Man, "I'm only human after all..." ;))
• 17:47, 28 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (Did the BBC *and* the EBU announce that the shortlist was down to two? They'll certainly make the final decision together, according to Eurovision.tv. *Now* are we near the end of this argy-bargy?)
• 17:41, 28 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (Boy, oh boy, oh boy... when was the last time there was *this* much argy-bargy over how a game show story should be worded?)
• 14:01, 28 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (Well, Eurovision.tv doesn't say "chosen city" either. And I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned, there is no difference between "winning" and "chosen". Now please let's end this silly edit war...)
• 02:08, 28 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (The Challenge revival was simply a Granada production - as, indeed, was Countdown at the time. The "Granada Yorkshire" name was dropped in January 2006, when the "ITV Productions" one was introduced)
• 23:56, 27 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Gladiators ‎ (→Catchphrases: should have remembered that what John A said before the Eliminator was almost the same as what he said before the Wall)
• 23:29, 27 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (What's the difference between "winning" and "chosen"? The winning city is the one that the BBC and the EBU choose, and the chosen city is the one that wins. The Beeb's own article says "winning", too)
• 17:34, 27 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: the headline can be shorter and (IMO) snappier, too. Once again, no disrespect intended :))
• 17:32, 27 September 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (No disrespect intended - but, IMHO, this latest story regarding Eurovision 2023 can be a *lot* shorter. And - again, no disrespect intended - I'm not sure the bit about TaP is important or relevant)
• 22:29, 24 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Catchphrases: as I said, Dave's "throwers and knowers" catchphrase wasn't that original... but to set the record straight, he didn't nick it wholesale from Jim in any way ;))
• 22:17, 24 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (Greeny's catchphrases *at* the Prize Board are somewhat less memorable than "Iiiiiiin one..." and "And Bully's Special Priiiiize..." - so they can stay on the one line, which itself can be shortened)
• 21:02, 24 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Catchphrases: Greeny would cry out "That's the bullseye!" when Bully's Special Prize was won, and also when a dart player threw £200/£150 on the Category Board)
• 21:00, 24 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Catchphrases: probably not necessary to point this out, but it was the professional dart player whom Greeny would tell to "make these last three darts count")
• 20:57, 24 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Catchphrases: well, there *were* eight red sectors on Bully's Prize Board (excluding the bullseye), and iiiiin all of them the prize could have been rubbish, like a cafetiere or a terrarium... ;))
• 20:45, 24 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (Here's a catchphrase that Jim used some variation of just before the game began, from around 1992 onwards. As you can see, Dave's "throwers and knowers" wasn't *that* original... ;))
• 20:32, 24 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Catchphrases: "It's a bullseye! And here's your host, Aaantaaan Deeec / Daaave Spiiikeeey / Vernon Kaaay!" ;))
• 20:19, 24 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (I've properly grouped together the respective catchphrases spoken by Jim, Greeny and Dave - aside from Greeny's intro, which obviously opened the show and also changed depending on the host)
• 15:27, 23 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Battlechefs ‎ (→Trivia: P&O *Cruises*, to distinguish from P&O *Ferries*, which among other things is under different ownership)
• 15:00, 23 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Index B ‎ (→Shows: fixed typo in "Lifestyle" for The Big Fish Off)
• 14:58, 23 September 2022 (hist) (diff) New Shows ‎ (→2022: fixed typo in "Lifestyle" for Bad Chefs)
• 14:57, 23 September 2022 (hist) (diff) New Shows ‎ (→2022: can't suppress my desire for consistency (no disrespect intended, of course)... clarified that Gwrach y Rhibyn and Loggerheads are regional-only shows)
• 14:46, 23 September 2022 (hist) (diff) New Shows Archive ‎ (→2015: fixed typo in "Lifestyle" for The Big Fish Off)
• 14:44, 23 September 2022 (hist) (diff) New Shows Archive ‎ (Changed all instances of "Action/adventure" to "Action and adventure", for consistency (which I can't help but be a stickler for... ;)) and to match the name of the corresponding category)
• 00:27, 12 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Cuibhlichean an Fhortain ‎ (I can't say I've watched this show - but I can certainly translate the title ;))
• 00:16, 12 September 2022 (hist) (diff) Index C ‎ (Changed all instances of "Action/adventure" to "Action and adventure", again to match the name of the corresponding category)
