Talk:Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure

message: I'm trying to find how many episodes this series has, but am running into problems--some sources list it as 5 episodes, others as 6. Does anyone know the correct number?--5th earth 01:57, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Strangely the main article page still says 5... and as far as I could tell when it was recently repeated (once, uncharacteristically for the channel) on Dave, they only showed 4 editions... however when they recapped the previous events at the start of what I'm currently taking as "episode 2" (Provence), there seemed to be too much to really have been covered in one 30 minute programme, and by our currently noted "episode 4" they've been "on the road for nearly a month"... hmmm 77.102.101.220 (talk) 01:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: RIGHT. OK, if we're to believe the BBC - who should know their stuff as far as this is concerned, after all - it's 5 episodes. Reference: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/tv_and_radio/wineadventure_about.shtml ... aye? 77.102.101.220 (talk) 01:37, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Aha ahahaha... at the risk of having a messageboard conversation with myself, I think I've cracked it. It's being repeated in SIX parts on freeview right now... of equal length. With Burgundy and Languedoc-Rousillon as seperate episodes. The one listed in the main article as being both of them together may well have been an extended-length debut edition or something. I think I remember some wierdness along those lines when it was first on, and I ended up missing the entire thing because i'd thought it was therefore being shown a half hour later than it was (either that or JM's 20th Century series, anyway). Time will tell, once I get home from work tomorrow, as my freeview recorder is waiting to slurp the 2nd ep (the only one i'm missing of the 6, now) off the airwaves, and i can see if it fills in the parts that seem to be lacking from all the others.

text: PS I think the aspect may be off... it might just be an artefact of the channel repeating it, but they appear to usually stay faithful to whatever aspect a programme was created in (meaning they display a curious mix of aspect ratios between programmes) - and this was being shown at a typically oddball BBC 14:9 ratio, which would be something like 720x504 non-anamorphic, showing with slight horizontal borders on a 4:3 TV, or slight vertical ones on a widescreen that zooms it correctly. I'll see if i can remember to check it and maybe come back to tweak after i've got them all to look at! 77.102.101.220 (talk) 02:28, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Dig it - that IS how it's working. I now have it all on tape in six parts - two of 27 minutes (for a ~55 minute airtime slot for its original all-in-one airing), and four of 22 minutes (to fit a 25 minute slot, presumably, with some other half-hour programme taking up the rest of that bit of the evening). Will add a small note to this effect on the main article to clear up anyone else's confusion. Forgot to check on the aspect, though, and i'm not at home right now. 193.63.174.10 (talk) 14:43, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

message: At the end of each series, James May includes a list of wines he liked.  Shouldn't that be notable?  My only problem is that I cannot find a source for this aside from researching the show myself, which is, of course, not really allowed... 67.169.49.52 (talk) 06:06, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
