- 18:01, 12 April 2024 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (You know what? Let's add the members of each winning team too. ;) The Professionals was effectively a successor to Reunited - and Christmas UC is effectively a successor to The Professionals) (top)
- 17:29, 12 April 2024 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Champions: ...and here are the respective presenters of the trophies in the 2004, 2005 and 2008 series ;))
- 17:24, 12 April 2024 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Champions: according to Sean Blanchflower, in all five Professionals series the members of the winning team each received their own trophy, like in the Reunited series...)
- 17:12, 12 April 2024 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Champions: if I may be real fussy and switch Magdalen and Manchester around, since Magdalen got to four wins first (plus none of theirs were by default)... ;))
- 17:07, 12 April 2024 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Champions: Imperial have won three of the last five series, and reached the semi-finals of a fourth. Manchester were once The Team Everyone Wants To Beat... think that title is Imperial's now ;))
- 16:32, 12 April 2024 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (→Champions: one does wonder: had UCL won, would there have been a filmed epilogue from *their* rooftop in Bloomsbury to mark what would have been their first-ever series win?)
- 16:27, 12 April 2024 (hist) (diff) University Challenge (I'm rather annoyed that quite a few sources of repute have said "The trophy was presented by Tom Stoppard" and not corrected this, so I'm glad the record's set straight here. May I re-word, however?)
- 13:46, 7 April 2024 (hist) (diff) Angus Deayton (→Shows: if I may specify the UC Comic Relief specials that Angus hosted - there was another one over a decade later with David Baddiel in the host's chair ;)) (top)
- 13:41, 7 April 2024 (hist) (diff) David Baddiel (→Shows: if I may also point out the specific UC Comic Relief special that David hosted - there were two earlier ones hosted by Angus Deayton, of course ;)) (top)
- 13:39, 7 April 2024 (hist) (diff) David Baddiel (→Shows: technically David *co*-devised Romeo & Duet - just as Anneka Rice co-devised Challenge Anneka with Malcolm Heyworth, and Neil Buchanan co-devised Art Attack with Tim Edmunds ;))
- 13:31, 7 April 2024 (hist) (diff) David Baddiel (Ivor does deserve a mention here, however)
- 13:28, 7 April 2024 (hist) (diff) David Baddiel (According to the credits, The Getaway Car was devised by Charlotte Freinberg and Ross McCarthy, and developed by Leon Wilde - Ivor Baddiel was merely the show's writer. Were these credits wrong?)
- 21:14, 30 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Clement Freud (→Trivia: Clement was also the uncle of Esther Freud, of Hideous Kinky fame. She and Frank Paul are half-sister and half-brother - Lucian fathered children with quite a few women) (top)
- 20:19, 30 March 2024 (hist) (diff) Moneybags (→Trivia: there were two Hall of Fame winners in 2021, and the other one is mentioned only a few lines above... ;)) (top)
- 20:11, 30 March 2024 (hist) (diff) The Answer Trap (→Synopsis: nabbed the screenshots of Bobby and Frank from Weaver's review - so that the pattern of two paragraphs, image, two paragraphs, image, etc. is more or less maintained throughout ;)) (top)
- 20:02, 30 March 2024 (hist) (diff) The Answer Trap (→Synopsis: "Part two", "part three"... may I substitute "round" for "part", since it might not be clear to readers outside Britain and Ireland that the show was an hour long?)
- 19:54, 30 March 2024 (hist) (diff) The Answer Trap (→Trivia: The Answer Trap wasn't the sole Hall of Fame winner for 2021 - indeed, it wasn't the only winner for that year that aired on Channel 4 at 3pm... O.o ;))
- 19:43, 30 March 2024 (hist) (diff) The Answer Trap (→Trivia: re-wording as regards the answers, since it's already established that Cheddar is a cheese. I like what's said about McIntyre's wheel ;))
- 19:36, 30 March 2024 (hist) (diff) The Answer Trap ("Care to play along?" Since I've made one bit slightly more negative in tone, I shall balance things out and make this caption slightly *less* negative (if more wordy). Again no disrespect intended ;))
- 19:29, 30 March 2024 (hist) (diff) The Answer Trap (→Synopsis: the image of the cheese/dog breed board, from round one, comes *after* the paragraph about round two - I reckon it makes that bit more sense to have it *before* said paragraph ;))
