• 22:50, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) The Wall ‎ (→Inventor: I think it should be pointed out that a certain basketball player had a hand in the creation of this show...)
• 22:40, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) The Wall ‎ (C'était le logo de la version française. Voici le logo des versions en anglais, dont la version britannique ;))
• 22:32, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) N File:TheWallLogoEnglish.jpg ‎ (The logo for English-language versions of The Wall) (top)
• 22:23, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Dale Winton ‎ (→Biography: may I add the names of the Nottingham and Wolverhampton radio stations Dale worked at? These names are long gone, but are presumably still fondly remembered in their respective cities)
• 22:17, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Dale Winton ‎ (→Biography: if In It to Win It is mentioned, then surely the 'Sweep has to be mentioned too? Might be worth pointing out as well that IITWI was the longest-running Lottery game show)
• 21:29, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: following a reconsideration, this is probably a better headline. Also, with the exception of two specials, the 'Juice has been on ITV2 all its life, hasn't it?)
• 21:21, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Celebrity Juice ‎ (The 'Juice is coming to an end four years after it qualified for this site's Long-Running category)
• 21:18, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: old news because it was yesterday, but I think it's still worth adding as the 'Juice does qualify for this site's Long-Running category...)
• 20:58, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: I hope I'm not being disrespectful here in adding Hilary's and Our Graham's respective ages. It's purely for the purpose of expanding these two stories ever so slightly)
• 20:46, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Sally Lindsay ‎ (Is it OK to change "actor" to "actress"? No sexism intended, of course. Also, Sally's very much a lady of Granadaland, so it's worth pointing out where in it she was born)
• 20:37, 30 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right ‎ (→Catchphrases: with all due respect, folks, no-one likes what That Other Wiki (copyright Weaver) terms "edit wars"... Anyway, tidied up a bit regarding Bruce's "when I was a Chippendale..." quote)
• 15:13, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Trivia: added missing full stop :))
• 15:09, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Title music: changed "Title" to "Theme", again purely for consistency)
• 15:06, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: some more picture switching, so that the Chuckie Egg one immediately follows "The best way to explore games..." and the Tetris one immediately follows "Each week's final challenge...")
• 14:55, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: and putting the picture of the audience vote immediately below the line about it. Also, just in case people don't remember Brucie rapping on YB!...)
• 14:47, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: for instance, putting the picture of the rotating stage immediately below the line starting "And there's a gimmick...")
• 14:44, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: changed "revolving" to "rotating" purely for consistency. I intend to swap most, if not all, of these pictures around, so that - shall we say - they're better connected to the text)
• 14:35, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: AFAIK, Dara never made any Pointless references on this show, though obviously Ellie's role was not dissimilar to Richard's)
• 14:22, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: the You Bet! reference is obvious and natural, the Moment of Truth reference... not so much)
• 14:18, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Go 8 Bit ‎ (→Synopsis: aren't those meant to be pixels rather than cubes?)
• 14:02, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Mousetrap ‎ (→Pictures: italicised the caption)
• 12:41, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Index W ‎ (→People: consistency for consistency's sake :))
• 12:29, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Jailbreak ‎ (Now we know the composer(s) of that wonderful Erasure-meets-Hammond organ music, courtesy of YouTube (what else?). Wonder if the full soundtrack is lurking around somewhere on the interwebs?)
• 12:15, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Perfection ‎ (Will Slater tends to provide the scores for 12 Yard shows, and this was no exception. He had a slightly unusual credit here, however)
• 11:25, 25 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (→Champions: I trust it's not too soon to add the Series 85 champion. ;) I said that doing so would be fun, and so it's proved - in terms of rearranging the table, of course)
• 16:36, 8 June 2022 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (→Edit queries - June 2022: in case anyone's still wondering, the episode of Countdown that was supposed to be aired today (8 June) will not be aired for the foreseeable future)
• 16:25, 8 June 2022 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (Couldn't help but notice that we were stuck in a time warp... :))
• 16:06, 8 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Hit Me Baby One More Time ‎ (→Key Moments: italicised "Toxic" for consistency)
• 16:03, 8 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Hit Me Baby One More Time ‎ (→Participants: oopsie doodle)
• 16:00, 8 June 2022 (hist) (diff) Hit Me Baby One More Time ‎ (→Participants: with respect, I don't see any need to italicise the names of the singers/bands whose songs were covered)
• 15:11, 15 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Weaver's Week 2022-05-15 ‎ (...it wasn't clear to me. Sorry, Iain and Thomas. :( Feel perfectly free to change it back to "guests" again, however - and as ever, no disrespect intended in any way at any stage :))
• 00:59, 15 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Weaver's Week 2022-05-15 ‎ ("Too many bloviators from the fringes of current affairs, and not enough people who were friendly and welcoming; a similar complaint applied to the guests." I take it you meant "host", Iain :))
• 20:05, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right ‎ (→Catchphrases: Bruce would usually point out how important it was to get control of the board on a sudden-death question or a tiebreaker)
• 19:57, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right ‎ (→Synopsis: and if it got to one game each, it would be a tiebreaker that was played, to be pedantic ;))
• 19:47, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right ‎ (→Synopsis: should be pointed out, too, that a game went to sudden death if there was no winner after three questions)
• 19:24, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right ‎ (→Catchphrases: and more often than not, Bruce had to remind a couple getting a free go that they couldn't change the card they were on)
• 19:21, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right ‎ (→Synopsis: a couple had to guess higher or lower even if they changed the card, of course. And one very important rule was that a couple getting a free go didn't have the change option ;))
• 18:59, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right ‎ (→Synopsis: clarification as regards the survey questions; also clarified it's the couple answering first that gives a number and the couple answering second that guesses higher or lower)
• 18:31, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right ‎ (→Synopsis: there were a few couples in the '80s and '90s that hadn't yet tied the knot - and in 2002, brothers and sisters could play as well as husbands, wives, fiancés and fiancées)
• 18:25, 12 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Play Your Cards Right ‎ (→Synopsis: in the '80s, couples attempted to win a car (and they weren't so fabulous back then, of course); in the '90s, a car and cash; and in 2002, cash only)
• 13:10, 11 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Tara Bethan ‎ (That should be Pobol Y *Cwm* ;))
• 22:01, 10 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Edith Bowman ‎ (Edith's been famous for quite a while now, and she still doesn't have a biography? Better put that right... :))
• 15:35, 10 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (If one wants to be pedantic, this will actually be Colin's *fourth* stint as host (after 21-23 December 2020, 13 January-9 February 2021, and 3-16 March 2021). But why quibble? ;))
• 14:56, 10 May 2022 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (Colin Murray will take Robbo's place on Countdown, at least on a temporary basis: https://twitter.com/ColinMurray/status/1523962488009764868. Why not give him the job full-time, if he wants it?)
• 14:22, 10 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Countdown ‎ (Colin will again be in the presenter's chair after Anne leaves, at least until the autumn: https://twitter.com/ColinMurray/status/1523962488009764868. Give him the job permanently, for heaven's sake)
• 20:13, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) National Lottery shows ‎ (→Synopsis: well, I guess we can safely assume now that Who Dares Wins is no more) (top)
• 19:52, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Meridian Productions ‎ (An expanded history. Admittedly more about Meridian's owners than Meridian itself - but then Meridian was a significant part of a media empire, rather like fellow 1993 ITV company Carlton TV) (top)
• 18:44, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Britain's Missing Top Model ‎ (→Winner: only one series and hence only one winner, so the year is superfluous)
• 18:40, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Love Productions ‎ (And here's Love's history too :))
• 18:36, 6 May 2022 (hist) (diff) Category:Love Productions ‎ (Here's the logo ;))
