Could you add info about his documentary on the death of Princess Diana, There Are Dark Forces ? Then again, it seems to have not been mentioned at all since private screenings were apparently held last year. 86.177.105.111 (talk) 00:25, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking of that film...why is it a success (8 point 6 out of ten), whereas no one knows how much money it has generated?  Is there a tax office just anywhere that would like to act upon it? Maybe tax-offices do give in to blackmailings. Maybe someone has made sure they give in to blackmailing. --82.134.28.194 (talk) 10:00, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Fool" 

message: "Although he portrays the persona of the working-class, Allen is a former public schoolboy who was born in Wales."
Does that sentence from the first paragraph actually contain seemingly opposing ideas that warrant the use of the word "although"?  Or is being a "public schoolboy" in Wales considered to be an upper class position?  I do not live in Britain, so maybe I am not familiar with their use of the term.  Somebody please explain.  Otherwise, the sentence should be changed.

replies: text:  "Public schoolboy" on its own is (perceived as) an upper-class position.  I think the Wales part refers to his distinctly non-Welsh accent. Katharineamy (talk) 19:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Public schools cost a lot of money to attend which working-class people can't typically afford (I believe Welsh people are also particularly poor in general when compared to the rest of the UK, as their main industry is sheep "farming").

thread_title:  Introduction 

message: According to Debrett's, Allen's birth name and date are different than the info in the article. Infact the info in Debrett's was the info that USED to be on the article and on sites like IMDb until it was recently changed. Did Allen send Debrett's the wrong info as a joke or what?

message: He is a 'Welsh musician but he is the father of a 'British singer? Some consistency is needed here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.75.119 (talk) 20:21, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Um, I think we'd all agree that he's more of an actor? But, in any case, Lily was born in the well known mining village of Hammersmiff! We could well describe Keith as a Britsh actor, but I don't think anyone would describe his daughter as a 'Welsh singer'? Martinevans123 (talk) 21:19, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: He is best described as British. His family moved around all over the place - they just happened to be in Wales when he was born. --Michig (talk) 05:40, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Tend to agree. Cliff Richard is not generally described as Indian, is he. And I don't think Allen regards himself as Welsh? Martinevans123 (talk) 07:34, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
