Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh was a BBC radio comedy starring Kenneth Horne and Richard Murdoch; it was one of the shows that built up Horne's reputation prior to his great successes with Beyond Our Ken and Round the Horne. This article went through a re-write in 2022 and a further recent brush up, with a possible FAC shot, unless reviewers counsel otherwise. - SchroCat (talk) and Tim riley talk 12:16, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding two penn'orth to the above: in the FA article on Round the Horne we followed the usual Wikipedia convention of using the present tense: "...is a radio show" etc. For the ITMA FA we used the past tense – "was a radio show" etc – because little of it survives in recordings and it is seldom heard on air, whereas Round the Horne receives frequent, one might almost say regular, rebroadcasts decades after its first transmission. Much Binding has had a few outings in the years since the first broadcasts, but SchroCat and I think that the past tense, à la ITMA, is the right one here. We'd be glad of reviewers' thoughts on this point. Tim riley talk 18:20, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
