Talk:Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks

message: Now I've only seen the UK version of this show, and the present day characters have English rather than American accents. The accents are pretty unbelievable because the context makes it clear that present day is in the USA or Canada rather than southern England. Does anyone know why and by whom this stupid thing was done? Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 04:14, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably for the same reason that what is an Irish/Irish American show was dubbed into Scottish Gaelic... Is it just me, or do some of the "rural" Irish accents sound a bit Irish American? I'm not to sure about the accent in the theme tune, either... Paul-b4 12:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

message: It is unofortune that I do not have the page watched or eles it would have been easier for me to determine where it all went wrong.
This artilce is in major need of editing to adress the suspicious tone used in several sections such as "More about the show", "Piggley Winks", and "Series Goals" which all sound like a FAQs section of the broadcasters homepage.  Then of course there is also the matter of the formatting and shuffling content that it all falls inline with wikipedias guide to formating television program articles.
Unfortunately, I do not have the time to perform such edits currently and hope that other major editors will do so.  Eventually, I can but I will make some drastic changes to the article.--Kevin586 17:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I had already decided that it needed something: there was too much detail, largely pasted from promotional websites.  I hope it is a bit better now, but I'm stillnot sure about having a full episode listing. Kevin McE 18:38, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Jakers.jpg

message: Is there a source for Kira rather than Ciara: the latter would certainly seem a more common spelling for a name to be given by an Irishman of Piggly's supposed generation. Kevin McE 09:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Piggly's daughter's name 

message: it says that Entara are going to produce new episodes and even a feature length movie.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.139.161 (talk) 17:53, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  a movie ? 

message: I suspect the link to Gaelic is in error - the linked page refers to a group of languages. I'm guessing this should be changed to Irish but not knowing if this is true or not, I can't make the edit at this time.CupawnTae (talk) 09:02, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translated into Irish as opposed to "Gaelic Languages" perhaps? 

message: Someone kept changing the fact that the show hasn't ended its run in 2007. — FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 18:53, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
