• 14:33, 23 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Happy Families (2) ‎ (This isn't in Genome, but *is* in the Telegraph and a few local papers (my British Newspaper Archive subscription helps too). Presumably, Tone cranked up one granny while Diddy cranked up the other ;)) (top)
• 13:48, 23 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Happy Families (2) ‎ ("It was an arena-type show" - and it was indeed recorded in an actual indoor arena, but not the NIA. I've my Newspapers.com subscription to thank this time ;))
• 02:05, 23 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Have I Got News for You ‎ (→Host: Alex Horne joined the list of guest hosts in between Phil Wang and Kevin Bridges ;)) (top)
• 02:01, 23 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Alex Horne ‎ (→Shows: Alex became HIGNFY's 132nd guest host during 2024) (top)
• 01:59, 23 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Jason Manford ‎ (→Shows: Jason became HIGNFY's 130th guest host during 2024) (top)
• 01:55, 23 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Index H ‎ (Six new HIGNFY guest presenters during 2024, including Jason Manford and Amol Rajan) (top)
• 00:53, 23 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Happy Families (2) ‎ (Finally for now, the logo. The accompanying title sequence was, IMO, quite impressive)
• 00:48, 23 January 2025 (hist) (diff) N File:HappyFamiliesLogo.jpg ‎ (The logo for Happy Families. The one with Andrew O'Connor and Sarah Greene, that is) (top)
• 00:39, 23 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Happy Families (2) ‎ (→Trivia: only half the granny crankers are listed on Genome (those for episodes 6-11), but episode 1's granny cranker is known too as this is one of the two eps on YouTube ;))
• 00:26, 23 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Happy Families (2) ‎ (Went looking on Genome to see if the granny crankers were listed, and made this rather remarkable discovery... I'd probably be laughed at on That Other Wiki (copyright Weaver), but certainly not here)
• 23:49, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Happy Families (2) ‎ (→Synopsis: on the other hand, there *is* a need to link to Saz's article in this section ;))
• 23:46, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Happy Families (2) ‎ (→Synopsis: "The Gladiators had already become bigger stars." That's Wolf, Jet, Hunter, Lightning et al, rather than the show itself, right? So no need for italics here either ;))
• 23:42, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Happy Families (2) ‎ (→Synopsis: the final round did have an official name - boomed out by the uncredited voiceover at the start, and stated on the winners' leaderboard at the end ;))
• 23:28, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Happy Families (2) ‎ (→Synopsis: de-italicised the links to Gladiators and That's My Dog, to fit today's house style ;))
• 23:26, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Happy Families (2) ‎ (There are in fact two full eps on YouTube, both complete with credits, so... ;) No great surprise about the composer; the theme *does* have a hint of Challenge Anneka (another Mentorn show) about it)
• 22:57, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) First & Last ‎ (It's stated in both the Synopsis and the Trivia that there were pilots with Justin Lee Collins and Lee Mack, so... ;)) (top)
• 22:47, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Film Buff of the Year ‎ (→Synopsis: if I may de-italicise the link to Screen Test here, to fit with today's house style :)) (top)
• 22:02, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Two Tribes ‎ (→Trivia: de-italicised the link to Eggheads, as per the house style) (top)
• 21:59, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) I Blame the Spice Girls ‎ (Here's the show's logo, without the aforementioned subtitle) (top)
• 21:56, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) N File:IBlameTheSpiceGirlsLogo.jpg ‎ (The logo for I Blame the Spice Girls, without the "The Monster Quiz of the Decade" subtitle) (top)
• 21:50, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) I Blame the Spice Girls ‎ (Now that I know *for sure* what the house style is when it comes to linking to articles on shows... I would think the remaining italicised links will themselves be de-italicised in due course ;))
• 21:40, 22 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Get It - Got It - Good ‎ (→Inventor: now that I know, for sure, that when shows with articles are first referred to, the house style is to link the shows' names *without* italicising them. Thanks, Iain :)) (top)
• 03:27, 21 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Saturday Showdown ‎ (→Theme music: should have used the ampersand in the first place - they *are* a full-blown duo after all, a step or two beyond two men simply collaborating with each other (like Sylvan and Jacques)) (top)
• 03:17, 21 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Basil's Game Show ‎ (Tidied some links, among other things)
• 03:14, 21 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Basil's Game Show ‎ (Boom boom! This was another show whose theme tune was composed by Mr's Miller and Porter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxyRgKN4EN0&ab_channel=TimewarpEntertainment)
• 02:28, 21 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Saturday Showdown ‎ (→Theme music: well, why would they lie on their own site? ;) http://www.mrmillerandmrporter.co.uk/music/home.htm)
• 02:09, 21 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Game Show Spoofs ‎ (→Spoofs of real game shows: if you haven't watched "Strike it Mucky" before, then you really must - Dave Chapman's Barrymore impression is absolutely brilliant ;)) (top)
• 20:43, 18 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Una Stubbs ‎ (→Shows: if Genome is right, Una *didn't* do Get It - Got It - Good. It *could* be wrong, mind... ;)) (top)
• 20:38, 18 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Get It - Got It - Good ‎ (The producer was a familiar name, too. "Here's a house, here's a door, windows one two three four..." and "Where will the Playbus stop? Watch for the sign on the lollipop!" ;))
• 19:16, 18 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Get It - Got It - Good ‎ (→Host: also according to Genome, there were four hosts, and Una Stubbs wasn't one of them. *Could* be wrong, of course... ;))
• 19:04, 18 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Get It - Got It - Good ‎ (→Synopsis: from Britt Allcroft's Guardian obituary, and also from Genome: https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/8dd556bd73e6442c80efde3463ca1d4c)
• 00:04, 13 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Category:Studio Lambert Productions ‎ (Since this is the *second* company called Studio Lambert... The story of the first one, and of Stephen's father who owned and ran it, is quite interesting too :)) (top)
• 04:19, 11 January 2025 (hist) (diff) The Unbelievable Truth ‎ (19 October 2006 was when the pilot was broadcast; the first full series began on 23 April 2007. There have been thirty series now, all six episodes long, and there have been two specials as well) (top)
• 03:44, 11 January 2025 (hist) (diff) The Simpsons Quiz Show ‎ (→Participants: well, since Krish has a UKGS profile now... ;)) (top)
• 03:22, 11 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Get Set Galactic ‎ (Over a year between the end of one series and the start of the next, seems to be becoming more and more common... Anyway, series 2 of GSG aired in November and December, again on Saturdays and Sundays) (top)
• 02:21, 11 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Index N ‎ (→Shows: ...and National Knowledge precedes National Lottery :)) (top)
• 02:19, 11 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Index N ‎ (→Shows: National Trust Cook Off was missing... ;))
• 02:06, 11 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Index T ‎ (→Shows: Trak Trix isn't the last "Tra" show alphabetically ;)) (top)
• 00:59, 10 January 2025 (hist) (diff) I Blame the Spice Girls ‎ (→Trivia: Keith Harris and Orville came on to ask a few questions as well, and were great sports throughout)
• 00:16, 10 January 2025 (hist) (diff) I Blame the Spice Girls ‎ (→Trivia: Mel B, Mel C, Emma, Geri and Victoria were indeed the first people seen on C5, and the show did indeed take its name from their collective name - but in fact, it had a subtitle too ;))
• 00:09, 10 January 2025 (hist) (diff) I Blame the Spice Girls ‎ (→Synopsis: "proceeding" should be "preceding"... shouldn't it?)
• 00:08, 10 January 2025 (hist) (diff) I Blame the Spice Girls ‎ (We already know the panellists from Weaver's review - but thanks to YouTube, we now know too that half of them were in the green corner (of the studio) and the other half were in the blue corner ;))
• 23:42, 9 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Category:HTV Productions ‎ (With respect, I think two images of the 1993 logo are enough. There *were* quite a few idents featuring this logo - but it only lasted ten years, whereas the classic aerial logo lasted over twenty ;)) (top)
• 23:24, 9 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Index M ‎ (→Shows: Monopoly should precede the "Moon"s rather than follow them ;)) (top)
• 22:59, 9 January 2025 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Broadcast: updated regular episode and series counts under Lifted, as of the end of the 2023-24 series)

• 22:52, 9 January 2025 (hist) (diff) University Challenge ‎ (→Champions: the regular series hasn't yet had an all-female champion team, yet the Christmas series has now had two. Not complaining, of course - just one of my observations... ;))
• 17:49, 1 January 2025 (hist) (diff) Loyd Grossman ‎ (→Biography: arise Sir Loyd! :D https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2v17qy8dno) (top)
