thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Cathycomehome.JPG

message: This edit, apparently by David Benedictus, was added to the article earlier today. Despite not being written in the Wikipedia house style, now corrected, it is highly authoritative, but is always likely to stand out from the rest. A season by season breakdown is likely to be tedious to read, and only this admittedly useful site takes such an approach. It does not appear to be based on an 'official' source as to a breakdown though.
I am trying to build up an article based on personnel, the Loach-Garnett section simply benefits from a good deal of easily accessible source material on the web, and Peter Luke's involvement in seasons 1, 4 & 5, following the just cited website, is somrething which needs to be developed if the article is to be as comprehensive as the series deserves.

thread_title: Problematic edit

message: I cut back the reference to this programme to allow the inclusiuon of more details into the paragraph. I did not cut anything which is absent from the linked Wikipedia article. Philip Cross (talk) 18:39, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: ''The War Game''

message: A few days ago, the article read: "The success of Up the Junction led to a 1968 cinematic version, setting a trend for film versions of successful or controversial BBC television plays that would continue for some years." This is inaccurate, "successful" television dramas in the UK had been turned into films for some years, think Quatermass, so I cut it. "Controversial" is wrong too, the 1954 television version of 1984 received strong responses, and was followed by a UK cinema version. So a removal of the sentence looks entirely legitimate.

thread_title: ''Up the Junction'' film

message: In this edit I reverted another editor's change. In January 1966, almost a year before the first broadcast, there were 17,8 million homes (households) in the UK of which 15.4 million possessed a TV set. (See here.) So less than 90% penetration, but still substantial enough in a mere three-channel environment for Cathy Come Home to have had the impact on public debate sources indicate.

replies: text: The first two transmission were seen by 11.8 and 12 million viewers respectively. Roger Graef asserts here that the later figure was 24% of the population at the time. I think he must mean the percentage to refer to the adult population at the time, possibly this is a Guardian sub-editing gaffe. The 1961 census found the total UK population to be 52.8 million while both the first two broadcasts were at 21.05 (16 November 1966 and 11 January 1967, see the BBC Genome website) obviously just after the 9pm watershed which had been introduced a few years earlier.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article currently identifies six seasons (one per year), while the detailed external site  identifies nine seasons (splitting the first three runs into two seasons each) and one special before Season 9. This may be a mis-interpretation of wording in the Radio Times, but could be clarified by reference to production documentation. It is further complicated by the inclusion of several productions 'flown in' from other sources or postponed. CaptainZond (talk) 11:21, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
