message: As a former St. Aloysius pupil, the letters "OA" appear after his name, to indicate that he is an "old Aloysiusian". 
Eh? I don't think so. Flapdragon 23:56, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

message: A seriously funny man - deserves to be as popular as custard (PAC). The South Bank Show appearance didn't convince me he was up to a PhD on Milton. Moral: never do comedy with Melvyn Bragg. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pliny (talk • contribs).
:Having seen his programme on Milton, I know I was right. Moral: never do poetry with BBC 4.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pliny (talk • contribs) 16:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know if he is associated with St Anne's College as the visiting professor?
I know he gave his first talk at St Anne's College. Malrase 19:38, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, he wasn't associated with St Anne's - his association was, as far as I know, with the English Faculty rather than any particular college. The theatre at St Anne's was simply used as the venue for the first two of the four lectures (I know, 'cos I was there!) Seb Patrick 14:48, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: There's a page on them at The Armando Iannucci Shows, and it's included in his list of programmes in this article. They were only released a couple of days ago on DVD, although they are deserving of a larger mention in this article as well. Bob talk 14:50, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know of a reference for the "University of Glasgow" comment? I couldn't find anything mentioning him being a Glasgow University alumni on the internet other than mirrors of this page. Also, in every television/newspaper interview I've seen he only mentions his time at Oxford. I suspect there may have been confusion over the College, perhaps, on this edit. Bob talk 01:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed it; the edit says that they head it on a Radio interview. A transcript of the interview would be a good place to start.--THobern 02:14, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This Glasgow University stuff has turned up again. It's widely repeated, but I rather fear it's from this site. Surely his honorary doctorate from there would mention he was an alumnus? This Evening Standard interview says his brother went there, but doesn't mention it if he did.

message: There is no reference to The Saturday Night Armistice in this article. Is there a particular reason for that or has it just been overlooked by accident? KMcD (talk) 16:19, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is linked in a list of his programmes, but you're right that there's no specific mention of it. There's no reason why, though, other than the page needs expanding. I'll try and get around to it at some point. Bob talk 09:55, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The stuff about classical music and Skin Deep should not appear in this section - it has nothing to do with advertising.  "Librettist" might be a good sub-heading, since that was his role in the operetta.--GuillaumeTell 17:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Armando produced several radio series of this influential show (taking over after the second series I believe), and also produced the TV series. Also, it's radio successor Loose Talk. This isn't mentioned here or in the MWE article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffcb25 (talk • contribs) 17:48, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's mentioned in the article that he produced the radio version, although I'm not sure if he produce the TV version - there's no mention of it on his IMDb credits  and no mention of him on the TV series credits. He hadn't really done any TV stuff at the time - that was really as a result of On the Hour's TV transfer. Bob talk 17:56, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Richard Herring Comedy Hero?

message: Wikipedia has recently updated [] the guidelines on British nationals who are made up from the 4 constituent countries within the United Kingdom. The decision has been made that the term 'British' be applied to British citizens and not their constituent countries, as a result I have updated the lede. Twobells (talk) 21:00, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a user essay rather than a Wikipedia guideline, and it seems to discourage the enforced uniformity you're implying. Why exactly is "British comedian from Scotland" better than "Scottish comedian" here? --McGeddon (talk) 23:42, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't see anything in that essay to support the claim that a decision has been made to use "British". On those grounds I am undoing Twobells's change. Note also that Twobells left in place the reference to justify using "Scottish"! -- Dr Greg  talk  00:50, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

* ISBN  - contrary to our sources , according to Google Books, a 320-page edition of Tongue International would appear to date back to 2001. (Shome mishtake, shurely?)

message: I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
