Talk:List of Heartbeat episodes

message: Why are these series treated differently than the others?  Seems a bit biased to lump them all together like that, almost as if they're somehow "inferior" to the initial and latest series.  CzechOut  ☎ | ✍ 18:45, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not that at all. I started doing tables for early series, but its a big job and havent got round to later episodes. The more recent ones have been done as they aired or by other users. --UpDown (talk) 18:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

message: On the synopsis for the final episode it says Blaketon is fatally injured and possibly won't survive. If he is fatally injured that would mean he doesn't survive (fatal means death). Sorry to clutter the pages up with this but I'm desperate to know if Blaketon is indeed fatally injured and dies?
The article needs some clarity on the fatal word.
:You might want to also ask at Talk:Heartbeat_(TV_series). Knowing ITV, they will probably end the series without you knowing if he lives or dies - just injured - so you have to wait until the next series...  Still the actor is 72, so he's not going keep acting for much longer - maybe he wants to retire.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 21:49, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Anyone interested in doing anything about this page's gargantuan size (or discussing possible remedies)? If there are no responses (as this doesn't seem to be a very active Talk page), I may take it upon myself to split the page up into sub-pages, perhaps with five seasons on each.

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: Is it OK to use tv.com (or the ITV/official website) to get the names of actors and characters for each episode? To me, it would seem to be a basic fact - which is not copyrightable under the Berne Convention. But I'll await more qualified advice before populating missing names.

thread_title:  What about actors' names? 

message: There are no dates for Australia on series 8/9/10, but it's currently showing now.
While there's the strong possibility that it has been shown before, I will start putting the dates for the currently showing shows next to the UK dates already there. If anyone knows the date of first showing in Australia (or can get that information from a source without restrictive copyright policies), they're welcome to come in and correct it. Nick4mony (talk) 13:31, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: They are indeed repeat screenings (my parents and I are enjoying seeing the entire series again over the course of 2011), which started not too long after the final episode was shown earlier in the year. If I recall correctly, the initial Australian screenings were included in the Wikipedia episode listings before they got wiped out by the copyright fuss - I am not sure if they are still available for access, or if they are what you're looking for, Nick. I definitely support measures against blatant copyright infringements such as plagiarism, but I find it grossly impractical, nonsensical and a hindrance for Free information for such principles to be also applied to basic information such as actor/actress names and television air dates (this is not a comment levelled at you, Nick). I do hope there can be a sensible and rational balance between protecting copyright holders' intellectual properties and having a pragmatic approach to writing and providing Free information on Wikipedia. As it stands, I mainly resort to imdb.com for information on Heartbeat, nowadays. 60.240.63.57 (talk) 13:56, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Article series set-up

message: Here are so many pages covering various seasons, many of them are overlapping. For instance, we have one page covering series 11-18, plus pages covering 11-15, 11-18 and so on. The "bigger" pages merely contain a list of episodes, whereas the "smaller" pages list a limited number of episodes plus some plot details for each episode. The problem as I see it, is that the several almost identical pages makes it difficult to navigate and find what I'm looking for. It would help with more links linking the pages together, but maybe it also needs to be organized differently so that the number of pages is reduced. I've started adding sections with links on this article, but I leave the "big picture" with organizing to others. Urbanus Secundus (talk) 15:33, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
