Kidderminster[edit]

No mention of Kidderminster? How can that best be explained? -- SteveCrook (talk) 02:11, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's notable. A couple of times they refer to an experience, clearly sexual, they had in Kidderminster, but the place itself is not relevant. The point is surely that their steamy experiences can be so easily narrowed down. That is of passing interest as belonging to the stereotype but it's not really important.

Ronnie Stevens and IMDb citations[edit]

I added a 'Citation needed' tag for Ronnie Stevens's guest appearance in the series, which was removed almost immediately. It turns out, of course, that he did appear in one of the episodes (i.e. my thorough research wasn't as thorough as it should have been!), but is this not one of those situations where a citation would actually be a good thing to add? It would help to prevent someone else making the same mistake I did. Is IMDB considered a sufficiently reputable source for a citation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.123.184 (talk) 17:59, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The IMDb is considered to be a perfectly valid source by me. But some Wikipedians don't like that the IMDb won't accept Wikipedia as a citation so they petulantly refuse to accept anything from the IMDb. Would it be enough just to specify the episode details where Ronnie Stevens appears and is credited? It was "Vicars and Tarts" (1984), Season 1, Episode 5 -- SteveCrook (talk) 05:01, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think so, although it might be as well to add similar details for other guests, such as the ones you listed and of course James Grout, who appeared in the episode where Martin joined a gentleman's club. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.123.184 (talk) 14:43, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, like the young Ray Winstone in season 3, episode 1 "Manure" :) --SteveCrook (talk) 15:42, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Location[edit]

The text of the article used to say that the programme was based in 'Mole Valley, East Surrey', with 'Mole Valley' being a link to the local government area of that name and 'East Surrey' being a link to the Westminster constituency of that name. These two areas are actually completely separate with 'Mole Valley' being some distance to the west of 'East Surrey'. The Mole Valley area would probably be better described as being in central Surrey. I've therefore altered the article to say 'Mole Valley, Surrey', with only Mole Valley being a link to the relevant area. Axad12 (talk) 15:54, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
