• 22:39, 23 May 2020 (hist) (diff) Masterchef Goes Large ‎ (Of course, Masterchef is now an *Endemol* Shine show - and I'm going to be bold and create a new Endemol Shine category, which will also include BB and shows that began after the merger in 2015)
• 21:43, 23 May 2020 (hist) (diff) The Cube ‎ (→Catchphrases: ...and whenever a contestant lost all their lives, the Cube would simply say these two words, with a clear pause between them)
• 21:41, 23 May 2020 (hist) (diff) The Cube ‎ (→Catchphrases: of course, whenever the contestant lost a life (except their last one), the Cube would say how many lives they had left...)
• 21:37, 23 May 2020 (hist) (diff) The Cube ‎ (→Catchphrases: and when the contestant opted to use their Simplify, Phil would always be mannerly towards the Cube)
• 21:31, 23 May 2020 (hist) (diff) The Cube ‎ (→Catchphrases: a good number of games required Phil to tell the Cube to play them when the contestant was ready)
• 21:26, 23 May 2020 (hist) (diff) The Cube ‎ (→Catchphrases: and here's what Phil usually said to the contestant after they committed to playing the game)
• 21:23, 23 May 2020 (hist) (diff) The Cube ‎ (→Catchphrases: here's what Phil usually said when introducing the next game)
• 11:18, 4 May 2020 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: keep the number of stories on the Main Page at five, of course)
• 11:16, 4 May 2020 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: ITV has just confirmed that there'll be no Love Island this summer. Assuming it'll be back in 2021, it's quite likely that Laura Whitmore will continue as host)
• 23:21, 27 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Category:Wall to Wall Productions ‎ (Oopsie doodle :)) (top)
• 18:01, 26 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Sports Family of the Year ‎ (→Host: corrected the spelling of Peter Alliss's surname) (top)
• 17:27, 25 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Index L ‎ (AFAIK, Les Quiz has only been broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland - in which case it fits into the regional (Scotland) genre)
• 16:52, 25 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Don't Stop Me Now ‎ (I have restored the Theme Music section - for completeness more than anything else - but left in the suggestion (which I agree with) that viewers probably didn't like the choice of McFly over Mercury)
• 15:57, 24 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Strictly Come Dancing ‎ (→Participants: some consistency as regards EastEnders; also added links to Tim Wonnacott's, Laura Whitmore's and Ruth Langsford's articles)
• 18:39, 21 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Jet Set ‎ (→Trivia: Jet Set was, of course, originally filmed at BBC Television Centre (the now-demolished Studio 4, unless I'm mistaken). Also described the Olympic theme of the final series)
• 17:38, 21 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Jet Set ‎ (Here's the company responsible for the music)
• 15:53, 21 April 2020 (hist) (diff) For the Rest of Your Life ‎ (→Catchphrases: on every selection, Nicky said "Go to number (whatever)", and asked "Are you set on number (whatever)?" before the player "lit it up")
• 15:48, 21 April 2020 (hist) (diff) For the Rest of Your Life ‎ (A full game courtesy of YouTube. Think you can stay awake?)
• 00:23, 20 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Ruth Langsford ‎ (→Shows: Ruth was, of course, partnered with Anton du Beke in 2017 (they got as far as the week before Blackpool Week))
• 00:19, 20 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Ruth Langsford ‎ (→Trivia: it's been ten years now since Ruth and Eamonn tied the knot, and nearly 25 since their relationship began (although, of course, they kept it secret at first))
• 00:10, 20 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Ruth Langsford ‎ (Ruth's now been a regular presenter on This Morning for longer than Richard and Judy, believe it or not. And she was a Loose Women panellist in its earlier years, before becoming one of its anchors)
• 23:42, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Simon Rimmer ‎ (→Shows: Simon was in the 2017 Strictly line-up (he and Karen Clifton, as she was then, didn't get particularly far))
• 23:36, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Richard Coles ‎ (→Shows: Richard's also done Strictly, in 2017 (he was eliminated second after a poor paso doble))
• 23:27, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Tim Wonnacott ‎ (→Shows: Tim took part in the 2014 series of Strictly (he didn't get very far, unfortunately)) (top)
• 23:06, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Abbey Clancy ‎ (Abbey was champion of the 2013 series of Strictly, of course (some will say Susanna Reid should have won, but Abbey had the better story))
• 22:54, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Mike Smith ‎ (→Biography: may as well point out the precise date in 2014 on which Mike passed away, and the relatively young age he was) (top)
• 20:36, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Sabotage ‎ (...because, also according to listings in copies of the Guardian on Newspapers.com, they repeated the full series in the early autumn of 1995 - and again they put it in the weekday 9am slot)
• 20:28, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Sabotage ‎ (Also according to said listings, the show aired on weekday mornings at 9am, in between the Big Breakfast and schools programmes. I'm guessing that this was one of those very "Channel 4" moves...)
• 20:18, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Sabotage ‎ (→Broadcast: if the TV listings in copies of the Guardian from February and March '94 on Newspapers.com are anything to go by, there were 30 episodes, all in one series)
• 19:07, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Joker in the Pack ‎ (Also according to Genome, this was an Action Time show, with Stephen Leahy serving as executive producer alongside Michael Leggo)
• 19:02, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Joker in the Pack ‎ (→Broadcast: twelve episodes was all this show got, according to BBC Genome. Euro 92 and the Barcelona Olympics notwithstanding, it stayed in BBC1's Friday 8:30pm slot throughout its run)
• 18:46, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Index J ‎ (→People: Duncan is the first of the three Jameses in alphabetical order of first name)
• 17:30, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Jo Brand ‎ (If Xander Armstrong is considered a "regular" HIGNFY guest host on here, then I think Jo should be considered one too - she's hosted 23 episodes, and hasn't missed a series since 37 in spring 2009)
• 17:22, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Danny Dyer ‎ (Danny became HIGNFY's 112th guest host during series 56 in autumn 2018. Also removed duplicate "hard man" from the first sentence)
• 16:32, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Anne Robinson ‎ (→Shows: Robbo was, of course, HIGNFY's second guest host (eighteen years ago now, good heavens...))
• 16:19, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Clare Balding ‎ (→Shows: Clare is HIGNFY's 83rd guest host (first episode of series 44 in autumn 2012, appropriately enough))
• 15:39, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Gregg Wallace ‎ (May as well point out that Gregg and John were the first - and so far only - co-hosts of an episode of HIGNFY)
• 15:32, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Gregg Wallace ‎ (→Shows: Gregg co-hosted a series 41 episode of HIGNFY (spring 2011) with John Torode)
• 15:19, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Gary Lineker ‎ (→Shows: I'm fairly sure Loyd Grossman wasn't anywhere to be seen on that Sport Relief Masterchef special... ;))
• 15:14, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Gary Lineker ‎ (→Shows: Gary is HIGNFY's 96th guest host, and has had four goes in the chair as of the time of this edit (in series 49, 51, 52 and 56))
• 15:10, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Katherine Ryan ‎ (→Shows: Katherine is HIGNFY's 102nd guest host, with three goes in the chair thus far (in series 51, 54 and 57 respectively))
• 15:05, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Index B ‎ (→People: Bruno Brookes' surname follows Charlie Brooker's alphabetically)
• 03:59, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Jeremy Paxman ‎ (→Trivia: I reckon *that* Michael Howard interview can be described in slightly fewer words. Also pointed out the exact date, as it was less than two weeks after Labour's landslide election win)
• 03:34, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Jeremy Paxman ‎ (Put all programme names without links in italics, for consistency purposes)
• 03:25, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Jeremy Paxman ‎ (→Shows: Paxo is HIGNFY's 110th guest host (first episode of series 55 in spring 2018))
• 02:39, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Dirty Money ‎ (Thanks to the presence of several episodes on YouTube, we know who specifically devised the show, and who composed the music)
• 01:35, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) This Time Tomorrow ‎ (And from the credits, we know who's responsible for the music :))
• 01:32, 19 April 2020 (hist) (diff) This Time Tomorrow ‎ (Yes, yes, yes! The first episode courtesy of YouTube)
• 20:52, 17 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Vicky Pattison ‎ (→Shows: Vicky participated in Celeb Masterchef last year)
• 18:04, 17 April 2020 (hist) (diff) Masterchef Goes Large ‎ (→Participants: the 2019 Celeb line-up was also very eclectic - although Vicky Pattison does have a UKGS profile, and Joey, Oti and Jenny may well have profiles too at some point in the future)
