Talk:Robert Preston (actor)

message: In his film criticism compendium, John Simon writes in a footnote to his review of Victor/Victoria that "Preston was a closeted homosexual". Is there any other citable material to support this assertion? Ellsworth 21:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've researched Preston's career for many years and have never encountered a reference to his being a closeted homosexual.  (I had not seen the Simon review--it can't have been contemporary with the film, can it?  It's hard to believe even someone as snide as Simon could be would make such a statement in print during Preston's life, true or not.)  I cannot find a single reliable reference to Preston and the terms "gay" or "homosexual" that doesn't directly use those terms in reference to Preston's character in the film Victor/Victoria.  He may well have been gay.  I don't know.  I knew him and his wife, but never had any sense of his being gay.  (That's OR, of course, so it's not usable or even evidentiary.)  I don't care whether he was or not.  But a critic making an uncited comment in a review and Preston's being liberal enough to support a gay rights organization do not BY THEMSELVES provide enough verifiability to make a definitive statement about Preston's orientation in the article.  Gay rights supporter, yes, that's verifiable.  But gay?  Not from these "citations." Monkeyzpop (talk) 05:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

text: All good points. You're right, Srontiedrev, the footnote in the John Simon V/V review was added in the publication of the compendium, which came out in 2005, whereas in the 1981 review itself he wrote that Preston was "synonymous with red-blo0ded manliness."

message: "...he produced another gaffe by stating that during the second world war Britain and Kazakhstan (then part of the Stalinist Soviet Union and prime location of Soviet gulags/concentration camps) had fought together against fascism."
Why is this a gaffe? In colloquial if not literal terms, when talking about WW2 "Fascism" always refers to Nazi Germany. It is perfectly true that the Soviet Union (of which Kazakhstan was a part) fought on the same side as Britain against Nazi Germany.95.149.107.121 (talk) 18:50, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why are Mellor's expletives deleted? 

message: "He was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1987; this was as a result of a now-abolished convention whereby Members of Parliament who were also barristers could, having attained around 15 years' service as an MP, choose to be so appointed."
This is my own (improved) wording of the article's previous passage on the subject. It will be noted that Mellor's appointment followed approximately eight years' service in the House of Commons. In any case, the wording (as opposed to the notion) is not supported by the citation given – at any rate, by its current text, the relevant passage of which reads:
"One of the privileges of becoming a Member of Parliament (MP) was the award of "Courtesy Silk" to barristers who were elected MPs. The practice ended in the 1990s, as it was felt that automatically granting Silk without considering the recipient's abilities as an advocate devalued the rank."
If someone finds supporting material that mentions the number of years, if any, that were required for 'courtesy silk' to be applied, that would be great. Harfarhs (talk) 21:34, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:David Morrissey

message: Just to point out something that people seem to be ignoring, the article cited here re:Morrissey being the bookie's choice to replace Tennant includes confirmation that Tennant will star in all of the 2009 specials. Ergo any report that Morrissey is to replace him in the Christmas specials is false. And there are reports that up until a few weeks ago Tennant was negotiating to star in the 2010 series, too. 68.146.41.232 (talk) 03:54, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think given the efforts that the DW team are going to these days to protect plotlines, I don't think it is beyond the realms of possibillity that the recent talk of 2010 negotiations, or even DT staring in the other three 09 specials, is deliberate mis-information. Not to mention, the rumours that DM will replace DT doesn't necessarily mean it will happen in the Xmas special, and that isn't stated here. Without wishing to decend to far into Dr Who geekdom, there are two previous instances of a timelord adopting the image of an already existing person. In any event, I've been careful to just state that the bookmakers have him as odds on favorite for this, not that he actually has it. Limiting the statement this way makes it factual, notable and there is a source, so I think it appropriate to include it at the moment.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 08:05, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Darien Angadi

message: User 86.132.244.41 points out that sources are needed for some of the details in the article. I added the items in question immediately following transmission of the BBC Four programme mentioned in the article, but finding confirmation on the web, or anywhere else, has proved somewhat difficult. The BBC Four website has no information about the programme that I can find, but there are a couple of sites with reviews of the programme, both of which mention Darien Angadi:
*http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=366136
*http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/474190/swinging_swats_of_the_sixties/index.html?source=r_health
The IMDb page on Darien Angadi (the link is in the article) mentions his suicide but gives no further details. IMDb also has a page on Darien's brother, Shankara, who spoke about Darien in the documentary:
*http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2310294/
The list of 1962 leavers on the "Old Habs" website lists a Daniel Shankara Angadi, who I assume is Darien's brother, but I haven't found any reference to Darien on the site:
*http://www.oldhabs.com/Database/1962%20FPframe.html
The edition of Radio Times for the week of transmission of the documentary lists the programme but has no further information.
Hopefully someone can supply better sources of information than the above, otherwise the information may have to be removed. Charivari 02:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
