End of Christmas specials?
editThere are several reports about the annual Christmas specials being axed, though most of them seem to be from tabloid newspapers rather than a reliable source. Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 13:36, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Mark and inwardly digest: There is a Christmas special (as BBC describe it) in the form of "Review of 2022" Fort esc (talk) 19:53, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
Infobox dates
editAt the moment there are two date ranges shown - one for the weekly series and one for the Christmas specials - but they are both labelled simply "Release". There used to be headings showing which was which, but these were removed, and when I tried reinstating them they were removed again, apparently because formatting them in that way doesn't conform to the Infobox standards. How can we resolve this? Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 15:12, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- It appears that if anything more than a date is put in a date field, this gets flagged as an error and someone comes to "fix" the error. (The infobox isn't really designed to cope with two parallel "releases".) So I've tried to fix this by adding explanations to the "network" fields. Dr Greg talk 16:48, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
Too much detail?
editThe subsection "Audio recordings of lost episodes" (in the Lost Episodes section) is both extremely lengthy and rather dubiously sourced. Should it be removed? Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 17:31, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
