• 23:10, 23 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Neil Buchanan ‎ (Of course, Neil played Smart Arty in ZZZap! - accompanied by that wonderful piece by Boccherini ;))
• 22:58, 23 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Neil Buchanan ‎ (Although it's unlikely that many people have heard of Marseille, they do have a Wikipedia entry - so it might be worth incorporating them into Neil's bio)
• 22:24, 23 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Neil Buchanan ‎ (Neil's another great Liverpudlian - and hard to believe he's not far off 70 now...)
• 03:30, 22 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Category:Mentorn Productions ‎ (Uh-uh. "A larger, higher-res image of the early and mid-2000s Mentorn logo" - specifically to replace that small (75px), low-res square image, despite a difference in the colour scheme) (top)
• 00:57, 21 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (→Who's the greatest?: tidied as regards Anne Ashurst appearing in the 2005 UC Professionals series)
• 00:46, 21 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (→Who's the greatest?: just in case anyone wants to know who the reigning UC champs in '97 were, without having to leave this page ;))
• 00:23, 21 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (Oversight of Mastermind had transferred to BBC North in Manchester by 1992, along with almost every other Beeb game show at the time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfvlPwICPzM&ab_channel=TheTVMuseum)
• 00:01, 21 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (→Synopsis: passes have always been an integral part of the show, so I'd only put the parentheses around their use in breaking ties)
• 23:53, 20 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (...and substitute "contender(s)" for "contestant(s)" where appropriate ;))
• 23:39, 20 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Mastermind ‎ (It's so well-known that Mastermind participants are always called "contenders" and never "contestants", that I'd move it from the Trivia to the Synopsis...)
• 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)
