• 23:14, 14 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Category:ATV Productions ‎ (Increased to 130px, after seeing that 125px messes up the layout of the definition text next to the ABC logo in that station's category page (at least on my laptop)) (top)
• 23:13, 14 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Category:TSW Productions ‎ (Increased to 130px, after seeing that 125px messes up the layout of the definition text next to the ABC logo in that station's category page (at least on my laptop)) (top)
• 23:10, 14 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Category:ABC Productions ‎ (150px is, IMO, a little *too* big... but I see that 125px makes a bit of a mess of how the definition text is laid out next to the logo, at least on my laptop. How about 130px, then?) (top)
• 23:02, 14 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Category:Southern Productions ‎ (While there *is* a case for making the logos in these category pages bigger than 100px, I think - with respect where it's due - that 150px is a little *too* big. So how about going halfway with 125px?)
• 22:58, 14 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Category:TWW Productions ‎ (While there is certainly a case for making the logos on these category pages bigger than 100px, I think - with respect - that 150px is just a little *too* big. So how about 125px, the midpoint?)
• 22:55, 14 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Category:Westward Productions ‎ (While there *is* a case for making the logos in these category pages bigger than 100px, I think - with all due respect - that 150px is just a little *too* big. So how about 125px, the halfway house?)
• 22:47, 14 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Category:Twenty Twenty Productions ‎ (There *is* a case for making the logos on these category pages bigger than 100px... but with all due respect, I think 150px is just a little *too* big. So how about going in the middle with 125px?)
• 22:45, 14 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Category:Studio Lambert Productions ‎ (There's certainly a case for making the logos in these category pages bigger than 100px... but with all due respect, I think 150px is just a little *too* big. So how about the midpoint, 125px?)
• 22:41, 14 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Category:ATV Productions ‎ (There *is* a case for making the logos on these category pages bigger than 100px... but with respect where it's due, I think 150px is a little *too* big. So how about going halfway with 125px?)
• 22:37, 14 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Category:TSW Productions ‎ (There's certainly a case for making the logos in these category pages bigger than 100px... but with respect, I think 150px might be just a little *too* big. So how about 125px, the halfway house?)
• 01:19, 7 October 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (Being pedantic here, but it's plain Peterhouse - no "College" afterwards ;))
• 01:06, 7 October 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (Hey, the Christmas champions haven't been recorded yet... Since famous people take part and there's no trophy, I've pointed out the members of each team (only three of whom have UKGS profiles, AFAIK))
• 14:10, 3 October 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ ("Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge 1979 (trophy presented by Stephen Fry)". May I pluralise "trophy" here, since each member of the team got one, as opposed to them all having to share one?)
• 14:05, 3 October 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (The resolution isn't perfect - hence I've set the height at 450px - but here is a picture of the Sidney Sussex team. Taken from Sean Blanchflower's site; I assume he took it from elsewhere)
• 13:50, 3 October 2023 (hist) (diff) N File:SidneySussexReunited.jpg ‎ (The Sidney Sussex, Cambridge team of 1979, champions of University Challenge Reunited in 2002, with Jeremy Paxman and Stephen Fry (who presented the trophies). Left to right: Nicholas Graham, David Lidington, Paxman, Fry, John Adams, John Gilmore.) (top)
• 13:31, 3 October 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Into the 21st century: Sidney Sussex beat Somerville 390-90, and Keele 375-185 - who can say they *didn't* deserve the "champion of champions" title?)
• 13:20, 3 October 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Into the 21st century: it *was* pleasing that most of the contestants had gone on to high things, and not so pleasing that only the four highest-scoring teams continued in the competition)
• 13:15, 3 October 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Into the 21st century: obviously, the teams were competing to become the "champion of champions", but that's not all that happened ;))
• 13:03, 3 October 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Into the 21st century: the Reunited series was, of course, done to celebrate the show's ruby anniversary. Also pointed out how many teams took part in it, including how many series champions)
• 20:43, 2 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Strictly Come Dancing ‎ (Here are the 2023 participants. One *has* to point out Les Dennis's most famous show; same with Annabel Croft; and is it OK to point out who Bobby Brazier's mother is?)
• 19:42, 2 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Bill Bailey ‎ (→Shows: Bill wasn't *merely* a participant on Strictly, of course... ;) And without intending to be ageist, it's not unlikely that he'll remain the oldest champ for a while yet)
• 19:07, 2 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Index G ‎ (→People: I've just created Krishnan Guru-Murthy's profile ;))
• 19:05, 2 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Number One ‎ (Krish now has his own UKGS profile thanks to Strictly ;)) (top)
• 19:04, 2 October 2023 (hist) (diff) N Krishnan Guru-Murthy ‎ (Krish hasn't presented a game show since Number One, 22 (twenty-two!!) years ago - but he does now qualify for a UKGS profile thanks to Strictly ;)) (top)
• 18:57, 2 October 2023 (hist) (diff) N File:KrishnanGuruMurthy.jpg ‎ (top)
• 16:41, 2 October 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Into the 21st century: the 2000-04 reddy-brown set *was* very nice, though. The 2004-13 blue-and-purple set was probably a step sideways, though it lasted over twice as long)
• 16:32, 2 October 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ ("We're can't say we're fans of the new music." Twenty-odd years on, the BBC Media Centre describes it as "perfect", and the Balanescu Quartet must have made a fair amount of dough...)
• 16:19, 2 October 2023 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (No-one says "the year" 2000 any more, do they? Especially now that - shudder - we're nearly a quarter of the way through the 21st century)
• 14:41, 2 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Gift Wrapped ‎ (Amazingly, VMTV is *still* repeating Gift Wrapped nearly ten years later (why not The 21st Question in that case?). Does mean, though, that one can add the format developers and the music composer ;))
• 13:40, 2 October 2023 (hist) (diff) Index G ‎ (Wasn't Gift Wrapped just a general knowledge quiz? The couples on it were all engaged, of course, while Eamonn and Ruth were already husband and wife - but there was no actual dating, AFAIK)
• 15:08, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (The "slave" answer, too - but could a case be made that this *wasn't* a cockup? It *did* score zero, but it got next to no laughs compared to "squirrel", or any of Charlie's bizarre answers)
• 14:23, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (→"We asked 100 people to name...": the other "squirrel" answer was in that episode, too. Bit of a shame the question asked for "an animal", rather than the more broad "something"... ;))
• 13:53, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (Charlie gave "Sooty" when playing for control of the board; his opponent - no more familiar with Mr Enfield - then gave a bizarre answer of her own. Les: "Harry, I hope you're watching, mate..." ;))
• 13:37, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (And what do you want to know, Charlie gave the "Sooty" answer too. *Three* bizarre answers; *surely* he deserves to stand on the same pedestal as Bob "Turkey" Johnson... ;) ;))
• 13:21, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (→"We asked 100 people to name...": Les: "We're back to Red Riding Hood again!" xD ;))
• 13:10, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (→"We asked 100 people to name...": Charlie: "Porridge." Les: "We've had that as well. So was Goldilocks, I think." It doesn't end there... ;))
• 13:00, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (→"We asked 100 people to name...": I *have* seen the Red Riding Hood one, though, which is from 1997. God bless you, Charlie Santer... ;))
• 12:40, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (Haven't yet seen the "fish" one either, but that card game is of course *Go* Fish, which of course is two words. Might revisit this one if I come across it on Challenge, or indeed YouTube)
• 12:16, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (→"We asked 100 people to name...": stopped "Tin Man" from being rendered in bold, and also italicised and hyphenated "The X-Files". Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-dooooooooo... ;))
• 12:03, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (→"We asked 100 people to name...": that's Sooty the bear, right? So no italics required there. Haven't seen this one yet, but I assume the contestant had the wrong Harry in mind... ;))
• 11:57, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (→"We asked 100 people to name...": some alphabetical re-ordering (disregarding definite and indefinite articles, i.e. "the" and "a"))
• 11:44, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (→"We asked 100 people to name...": italicised "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Doo-do-do-dooooo, doo-do-dooooo, doo-do-do-dooooo, doo-do-do-do-do... ;))
• 11:39, 30 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (→"We asked 100 people to name...": from a 2001 episode repeated on Challenge just now. Les: "I'm gonna go down there and look for some nuts..." ;))
• 12:51, 11 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (→"We asked 100 people to name...": the same contestant also confused Stan and Ollie with Charlie Chaplin... I'd like to think she enjoyed the experience all the same ;))
• 12:42, 11 September 2023 (hist) (diff) Family Fortunes Cockups ‎ (→"We asked 100 people to name...": this was on Challenge just now. When this contestant's family had the chance to steal, Les suggested "tiger" ;))
• 21:36, 5 July 2023 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Champions: a week since the Series 87 final, so time to add the latest champ... ;) Adding the Series 88 winner, which I assume will be around Christmas time, will be much more straightforward ;))
• 21:16, 5 July 2023 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (With the very greatest of respect, it *does* pay to press the "Show preview" button, read over what you've typed, and change it if you're not satisfied - all *before* you press the "Save page" button)
• 21:11, 5 July 2023 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (...Let's start that again, shall we?)
• 00:40, 5 July 2023 (hist) (diff) ITV's 9.25 shows ‎ (AFAIK, Jeremy Kyle (spit, spit, spit) seldom took a break, and the same with Trisha - even when kids were off school for the summer, she'd be on at 9:25)
• 00:25, 5 July 2023 (hist) (diff) ITV's 9.25 shows ‎ (Trisha's show was very similar to Vanessa's - indeed it could be considered a continuation, as both were made by Anglia in Norwich)
