I have tagged this for clean up as it contains too much POV and needs expanding. Logan1138 16:45, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
I've tried to clean it up to a better state than it was before. 81.179.68.137 18:14, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
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)
(re : the removed "Oxford" comment here that will show up in the history; apologies, I thought that all reference had been removed, not the repeated reference)

Please do not add pointless, unhelpful headings like "biography" or "life and career". This article is a biography, those things are implied by the fact that it's an article about a person. The heading in question does not help usefully structure the article, it is not a logical way to group the paragraphs in question and it creates an unhelpful stubby introduction. I get the feeling that somebody is adding it to shift the TOC up the page, which can be done in more sensible ways which comply with WP:MOS. Joe D (t) 14:00, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
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) 2006-06-20.
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)
For future reference, these were actually two different series for BBC Radio 4, very different in style and broadcast in different years. I'll try and find proper dates for both.
So, what's this and how come I've not heard of it?

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)
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)
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.-- Guillaume Tell 17:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
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)

Wikipedia has recently updated [ [2]] 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.

Pinging @
John:. Regarding
this diff what do you mean by "proper"? The citation observes
WP:PRIMARY: A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge.
The text is a straightforward, descriptive statement of fact:

@ John: These are proper sources. We've discussed that here at this page, and at RSN as linked above, and so far the only person concerned about sourcing is you. I asked you above for a reason why you were uncomfortable with Twitter, but you haven't responded. This material is not sourced exclusively to tabloids (so far it's two tabloids plus his own Twitter account), and it's not controversial - can you please provide an actual argument for why you think it should be excluded, rather than just links to policies that don't, as far as I can see, apply? GirthSummit (blether) 07:48, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
I've reworded the assertion, so that the text attributes the writing to the relevant sources rather than making it in Wikipedia's voice. To be honest, I think that's a bit clunky, but if the nature of the sources makes you uncomfortable hopefully attributing the statements will provide appropriate distance from them. GirthSummit (blether) 12:21, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
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.
