BFI listing of Soft Targets, which was a Play of the Day, from 1982, in which he played Alexie Ptrlws (talk) 21:24, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
Doh! Apologies, Play for Today, not “Play of the Day”! :) Ptrlws (talk) 21:25, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
Right, I’ve added Play for Today to television filmography. As ‘Soft Targets’ is the name of the play itself, rather than the overall show, I have not included this. Please do let me know if you feel there are any improvements to how I’ve added this. Thanks! Ptrlws (talk) 12:32, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

I've added a citation to the BBC obituary. It may be applicable to many parts of the article. The reference is named <ref name="BBC Holm Obit"/> and the URL is https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13960349. Feel free to use it. I'll look back in when I have a moment.

Goodmayes isn't Essex.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.12.240.147 (talk) 22:39, 20 June 2020 (UTC) 

It was at the time of his birth. - SchroCat (talk) 05:18, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

But some source said Ian Holm was born at Mental Hospital in Goodmayes, Essex, but some source is said he was born in goodmayes, essex, which one is trust to support the his birth in ? I see the source  for example https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8439945/Lord-Rings-star-Sir-Ian-Holm-dies-aged-88-battle-Parkinsons-disease.html , https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-13960349, https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/419430/british-actor-sir-ian-holm-dies-aged-88, because his father was work there and birth there? I searched by the internet the mental hospital is called goodmayes hospital, so that he was born there, but i not sure there can be support his birth place in this hospital !  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.40.137.200 (talk) 11:18, 23 June 2020 (UTC) 

1. Stop edit warring on this.
2. This articles does not say he was born in a mental hospital. We say he was born in Goodmayes. That is all that is needed. We don't need to add the trivial detail of which hospital (where would it end, for crying out loud: bed number and ward name?) So all we say - and this is the common approach across the whole of WP - is the town in which he was born.
3. If you disagree with this, you should not revert yet again, but discuss. - SchroCat (talk) 11:36, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Ian Holm played Frodo Baggins in the 1981 BBC Radio 4 adaptation of The Lord Of The Rings. Not sure whether it should be added, or even where it could be added. Link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_%281981_radio_series%29

The performance is mentioned in the 5th paragraph of this section Ian_Holm#Career. I'm not sure there is a place to move it to or not. MarnetteD|Talk 02:10, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

I do not see the movie Jesus of Nazareth listed among his many appearances 173.3.143.154 (talk) 04:46, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

It is a made for TV item and is listed here Ian Holm#Television. MarnetteD|Talk 17:23, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Ian Holm may or may not be considered part of the "cast" of Alien: Romulus, but a section should likely be added explaining his posthumous participation in the movie.
Further details can be found in the article for Alien: Romulus under Cast.

I don't agree that it should be in this article. Holm didn't speak, act, or in any other way appear in the film, so how it can be considered "participation" I can't see. The Ash (Alien) article is a different matter. Bazza 7 (talk) 11:12, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Ian Holms name is in the end credits of Alien Romulus 2001:14BA:9CB2:8900:69DA:1A4:E5DE:C08E (talk) 14:40, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

The superbly gentle, inspiring drama "Mr. and Mrs. Edgehill" (which Judi Dench remembered as one of her favorite roles, see https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00263tv) was a 1985 BBC TV production, not a film. Dratman (talk) 07:37, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
