• 23:23, 20 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (→Synopsis: it's always been the rule, hasn't it, that ties for first place are broken by the number of passes, then by a five-question tiebreaker? Therefore, no real need for parentheses here :))
• 23:01, 20 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (→Synopsis: we're nearing the end of Clive's third series (already), and the fifth in Belfast - so time for some updating here and there. If Salford is "sunny", then Belfast is "brilliant" ;))
• 02:03, 20 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Anna Williamson ‎ (→Biography: Toonattik had three Ts ;))
• 01:57, 20 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Rescue Robots ‎ (Only the Mentorn name appeared on the endcap, though the show *was* copyrighted to Mentorn Barraclough Carey Productions Ltd. No different, though, to Lifted shows being copyrighted to ITV Studios) (top)
• 01:51, 20 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Rescue Robots ‎ (Clarified that the entire series - including the eight unaired eps - can be watched on Mech+. You never know, more people might subscribe as a result... ;))
• 00:33, 20 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Rescue Robots ‎ (→Synopsis: midway through *its* run ;))
• 22:54, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Category:Mentorn Productions ‎ (Here's the Mentorn Films logo from the mid-90s - which I particularly remember from Today's the Day and Gerry Anderson's Space Precinct (who else remembers that one?))
• 22:48, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) N File:Mentorn1994.jpg ‎ (The mid-90s Mentorn Films logo, seen at the end of Today's the Day, Challenge Anneka and Gerry Anderson's Space Precinct) (top)
• 22:42, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Category:Mentorn Productions ‎ (Here's Mentorn's current logo)
• 22:40, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) N File:Mentorn2007.jpg ‎ (The current Mentorn logo, introduced in 2007 following the takeover by Tinopolis) (top)
• 22:39, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Category:Mentorn Productions ‎ (A larger, higher-res image of the early and mid-2000s Mentorn logo)
• 22:37, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) N File:Mentorn2003.jpg ‎ (The Mentorn logo used in the early and mid 2000s, prior to the Tinopolis takeover) (top)
• 20:44, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Category:Mentorn Productions ‎ (Traffic Cops is another long-running Mentorn production, having just started its third decade on air)
• 20:35, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Category:Mentorn Productions ‎ (Question Time seems to be the show Mentorn is best known for these days. Disappointing, given how nasty QT often is, but unsurprising since Mentorn has now produced it for a quarter of a century...)
• 19:56, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Category:Mentorn Productions ‎ (Actually, when exactly did the Barraclough Carey name pass into history? It certainly looks like it happened before the Tinopolis takeover, though I could of course be mistaken ;))
• 19:49, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Category:Mentorn Productions ‎ (Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad... ;))
• 19:36, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Category:Mentorn Productions ‎ (Probably not relevant since it's a *sports* production company, but I've added that Sunset+Vine was also part of TV Corp (like Mentorn, it remains part of Tinopolis today))
• 19:24, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Category:Mentorn Productions ‎ (Barraclough Carey produced documentaries, I believe, prior to the merger with Mentorn. And the TV Corp takeover happened in 2000)
• 18:28, 19 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Category:Mentorn Productions ‎ (Pointed out Mentorn's founder, and that the company was Mentorn *Films* prior to the merger with Barraclough Carey)
• 01:10, 15 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Index H ‎ (Nine new HIGNFY guest presenters during 2022 and 2023, including Harry Hill)
• 21:17, 14 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Epic Gameshow ‎ (→Co-hosts: well, Alan didn't do the scoring in the Bullseye episodes himself, did he? Actually, although he and Little Richard weren't Jim and Tony by any means, their double act wasn't a bad one) (top)
• 21:05, 14 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Broadcast: corrected the date of the first Alan's Epic Bullseye episode - an Epic PYCR episode aired on 27 June 2020)
• 20:58, 14 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Co-hosts: I haven't seen every Alan's Epic Bullseye episode - but Little Richard Ashdown was the scorer in all five of them, wasn't he?)
• 20:46, 14 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Host: ...and "Epic Gameshow episodes" for "specials" in Alan's case, for the same reason ;))
• 20:44, 14 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Host: if I may substitute "Gameshow Marathon one-off" for "special" in the case of Messrs McPartlin, Donnelly and Kay, to match the Co-hosts and Broadcast sections... ;))
• 19:42, 14 March 2024 (hist) (diff) The Getaway Car ‎ (It says in both the Synopsis and the Trivia that the show was filmed on location in South Africa. If it says it in the Synopsis, I don't think there's a need to say it in the Trivia as well... ;)) (top)
• 06:29, 14 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Eurovision Song Contest ‎ (→The format and voting changes through recent years: rewording, too, as regards the two big changes in '99. Of course, English has been the dominant language of Eurovision songs ever since)
• 05:56, 14 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Eurovision Song Contest ‎ (→The format and voting changes through recent years: rewording as regards televoting being rolled out almost everywhere in '98)
• 05:34, 14 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Eurovision Song Contest ‎ (→The format and voting changes through recent years: in case anyone's wondering what the five countries were that trialled televoting in '97... ;))
• 05:23, 14 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Eurovision Song Contest ‎ (Mon dieu, no instance anywhere of the word "postcard"? Better put that right... ;))
• 05:16, 14 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Eurovision Song Contest ‎ (→The format and voting changes through recent years: ...may I reword as regards the changes for 2024? :))
• 20:28, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Let's Play Darts ‎ (→Co-hosts: removed the parentheses around the roles, and moved the roles to the left - as is the style these days ;)) (top)
• 19:55, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Are they going to gamble?: and if I may correct the spelling of "de rigueur", s'il vous plaît ;))
• 19:53, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Are they going to gamble?: "Announcer Tony Green (a professional darts commentator)". Now that he has a profile on here, I don't think the parenthesized text is necessary any more ;))
• 19:49, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (→Co-hosts: ...and he wasn't the scorer for *just* the original show and the Challenge revival ;))
• 19:45, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) News Archive ‎ (→Game show news: well, now that I've created Greeny's profile... ;))
• 19:28, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Gameshow Marathon ‎ (→Co-hosts: well, neither Ant nor Dec nor Vernon did the scoring in the Bullseye episodes, did they?) (top)
• 19:22, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Showbiz Darts ‎ (→Co-hosts: and now I've created Greeny's profile ;)) (top)
• 19:21, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Let's Play Darts ‎ (→Co-hosts: best of order... I've just created Greeny's profile)
• 19:19, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Bullseye ‎ (I've just created Greeny's UKGS profile)
• 19:19, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Index G ‎ (→People: "That's the bullseye!" Added Tony Green)
• 19:17, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) N Tony Green ‎ (May you rest iiiiiiin peace, Tony) (top)
• 19:05, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) N File:TonyGreen.jpg ‎ (top)
• 17:45, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Index S ‎ (Penny Smith read the headlines on GMTV, Peter Smith read the headlines on the Big Breakfast... ultimately Penny stayed in her role longer, and her first name precedes Peter's alphabetically)
• 17:09, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Showbiz Darts ‎ (No surprise that Greeny, God rest him, was the commentator - unlikely as it was that he would do a show with Sarah Cawood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSkH8MiH9kM)
• 17:00, 7 March 2024 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers ‎ (I'm back again... Does Tony Green qualify for a UKGS profile?)
• 21:59, 15 January 2024 (hist) (diff) Gift Wrapped ‎ (And that just about wraps it up (no pun intended). Now I'm off on my latest extended break, but as ever I'll leave the door open, especially for when shows like Countdown crown their next champions :))
• 21:48, 15 January 2024 (hist) (diff) Gift Wrapped ‎ (It *is* true that not everyone *knows* the theme tune, either - but that's why the link's there, right? Me, I honestly didn't know New Faces' "You're A Star" until I was well into my twenties... :))
• 21:37, 15 January 2024 (hist) (diff) Gift Wrapped ‎ (...really do not work as well as lyrics from the theme tune. And I'm well aware the theme tune isn't universally liked - but no-one can deny it was a thing, and Hans Zimmer's still proud of it today)
• 21:25, 15 January 2024 (hist) (diff) Gift Wrapped ‎ (None of us editors can disagree that the caption for the picture of the opening round has to reference GFG in some way. But, IMHO, perspective captions like "Where have I/we/you seen this before?"...)
