Talk:Smethwick Galton Bridge railway station

message: Are the footfall statistics used by National Rail for Smethwick Galton Bridge in the box on the right really useful? The use of this station based on ticket sales fail to acknowledge the fact that most passengers are using the station as an inter-change station and are not using the booking office.

Talk:Turn-On

message: Though "Turn-On" was ahead of it's time, the format it presented was nothing to be dismissed. Years
later, a short lived Cable TV Show called "Bizarre", with Host John Byner, brought the similar inovative rawness of "Turn-On" to a mature audience. This same format would be re-defined later into the later influence and success of "Saturday Night Live".Aedwardmoch (talk) 18:41, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Some ideas to be considered for inclusion into this article:  At 18 years, this show has most American TV series beat, as far as longest running.   Is this show considered to be, what we Americans call a "soap opera?" Did this show run during the afternoon? Or at Night? In America, we've had daytime Soap operas that have ran for 40 to 50 years.   But majority of television production here in America is done for nighttime television.  Most nighttime shows are luck to go four or five years, and very few get a 10 to 12 year run.   Marc S., Dania Florida 206.192.35.125 (talk) 18:14, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

message: The article states that The Beachcombers is "third-longest-running dramatic series ever made for English-language Canadian television"; what are the two the exceeds it?
According to the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_programs_by_episode_count, the following Canadian English-language shows have had more episodes than The Beachcombers:
-- 100 Huntley Street (Daily religious talk show)
-- The Marylin Dennis Show (Daily talk show)
-- This Hour Has 22 Minutes (Weekly sketch comedy)
Since none of these shows are "dramatic series", should the article be changed to state that it remains the longest-running English-language drama in Canadian history?  Or can the original author cite a source for their assertion that it's only the third-longest?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Insley (talk • contribs) 02:30, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
