Talk:Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps/Archive 1

message: Edited a couple of Season Five episode titles. Will overhaul the article soon. If anybody has any idea what a full, in-depth article for a sitcom should look like please give me some examples. Gs83 00:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: At the end of 6.6 Gaz find out that he's been 'shooting blanks'. Does this mean that Corinthian is Johnny's son? This could possibly be put in major plots - or does it need to be comfirmed? (Anyone seen 6.7 this may help us) TheTallOne 18:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I improved on the episode guide providing synopsises for the episodes. Some parts may need a clean up, but I think that it's mostly good. I haven't done anything like this before, so I'd like some feeback. I also may expand on other sections in the future. Adamravenscroft 20:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The section on continuty is informally written and has many grammatical errors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.9.248 (talk • contribs) 00:58, 16 September 2006
:I think that the continuity section is quite unnecessary anyway. (Note: I did not write the above, it is unsigned.) Adamravenscroft 11:41, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Continuity errors 

message: should it say laughter track it is filmed infront of a live studio audience should it be added? Rubberchix 17:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've amended the wording referring to the lack of a laughter track on the Horror Special. Clearly it was too technically complex to have been shot in front of an audience, unlike the rest of the series - I've been in the audience for a few episodes in the past, and it takes long enough to do a "normal" one!

message: Who ever it was at the bbc that scrapped two pints of lager,they need shooting,absolutely brilliant series,but scrapping the good stuff and keeping the crap,that what the bbc do best,god knows what we keep paying for a licence every year,for what ???
i dont watch any bbc channels anymore,does that mean i dont have to get ripped off by buying a licence,only in the uk we have to have a licence,when i told my american friend that wwe have a tv licence,he laughed his ass off. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gettoman (talk • contribs) 17:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not "only in the UK" - virtually every European country (and a few non-European ones) has a licence fee. Some even retain a separate radio licence. Nick Cooper 18:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I just thought I'd bring this up. In the Musical Special, at the start where Janet is about to leave, she leaves a letter. The letter reads "Joney". Just thought this might be the way you actualy spell his name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.78.178.241 (talk) 16:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Having just checked my DVD recording, the letter definitely says "Jonny" although the letters are very small on the screen, so anyone relying on a small screen and/or a poor quality recording or reception might be mistaken. Nick Cooper 16:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  character bios 

message: Under the Character bios, Jonny is listed on wiki (and a few sites) as liking "Designated Coconut".  I'm not a big enough fan of the show (haven't seen them all :-)) so I might have missed this reference, if it is a reference...I almost corrected it as a typo.  Does anyone here know if it is a typo or a reference?
BTW Wikipedia, check out http://www.sitcom.co.uk/two_pints/characters.shtml ...either you're breaking copyright laws by stealing their material or vice versa :-)
"designated" might be a deliberate typo by someone else to track copyright infringement...easy to find who uses the content using google :-)

replies: text: There does seem to be a page on Wikipedia dedicated to the Two Pints Musical Special but I don't agree it should have a whole page to itself and overall think the article is quite badly written; even the title is non-helpful to those Wikipedians who have never even heard of Two Pints nquinnathome1 22:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That page is a recent addition and seem incredibly unencyclopedic, both in the page name as simply "Musical Special" - which one would assume is too broad for this single example - its poor structure, and the factuial errors it contains. Nick Cooper 07:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: How about if we just clean the article up and 'move' it so that the page is actually given a suitable name rather than just 'Musical Special'; I noticed that other TV shows have a 'specials' page so as long as there is enough information to warrant a whole article it could be a good option. nquinnathome1 07:54, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the onscreen title is When Janet Met Jonny, which is as good a title as any. Nick Cooper 17:39, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  musical two pints 

message: Would whoever keeps putting in the detail about the mis-match between the copyright date at the end of first series episodes and the transmission dates please stop doing so. Two pints is far from being unique in this respect, especially with programmes that start within the first few months of any given year. Nick Cooper 17:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyright dates 

message: All of the completely untrue stuff removed. Series 8 has not been mentioned and there is no proof of viewing figures for Series 6 being "low". It's nice to speculate, but only write it down if you know it's concrete fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.139.21.204 (talk) 22:18, 12 May 2007
:It's on BBC3 and only watched by A level students who don't have social lives and those that go to polytechnics, sorry "university". Other than that it's watched by people who switch it on after going out for beers after work who fall asleep on the sofa, cock in one hand, kebab in the other.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.31.128 (talk) 23:55, 9 August 2007
::I'll think you will find that it has a rather large, wide range audience. I watch it (I'm 14), and most of my friends do to. We are still in school. I also know many people who watch it who are in their 30s and 40s. Don't make childish comments just because you don't like a show. Okay, voice your opinion, but Wikipedia is a factual encyclopedia, Not a review Website. Martinurquhart 03:10, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Can someone have a go at actually writing this as an encyclopedic entry rather than a sub a-level standard article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.31.128 (talk) 23:55, 9 August 2007
:Well it doesn't help when you make comments like the above comment under Series 7 (2007/08). It's non-constructive and totally unhelpful. Nor when you do not sign your comments. If you're prepared to contributed to the article please do, as long as it is constructive. -- Halo2 Talk 23:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
