Someone might want to confirm the listed Canadian dates; sources say it won't air on Global until starting 5 May, like in the States. https://shaftesbury.ca/houdini-doyle/ -- 2601:CC:4001:E700:9C76:86B7:46EA:4CDD ( talk) 12:21, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Please refrain from adding content from an online version of a TV show that has not aired on TV as you did with this edit. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 02:16, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Plese go to /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Talk:Houdini_and_Doyle to fill in your side of the debate. 86.160.202.23 ( talk) 03:14, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
Can someone verify if he's actually credited as "David Titcher" or "David N. Titcher"? The first episode seems to pipe the link the wrong way, it makes no sense to link to David N. Titcher when the article name and the displayed text are both David Titcher. "David N. Titcher" (without link) is used for episode 7. nyuszika7h ( talk) 17:54, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
I think there needs to be a section about the historical accuracy of the series. Namely about the events in the lives of Houdini and Doyle. For example, though the series is set in 1901, Houdini and Doyle did not meet until 1920. And where is Houdini's wife? As for the medical problems of Doyle's wife, I cannot find any factual evidence that what is shown in the series ever occurred. And then there's the death of Houdini's mother. First, she never went with him on his England/European tour. Second, and as such, she died stateside. Third, she did not die in 1901. In short, the series is REALLY playing fast-and-loose with the facts.
I know the descriptor states "based on," but really!! With all the discrepancies and outright ignoring of facts, I would think the word "fictional" should be included and play a stronger role in the description. 68.231.71.119 ( talk) 18:08, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Playback reports the Numeris Top 30 every week. Here's the viewership figures for the last episode. I'd add it myself, but I'm 100% sure I'd mess up that table. Damnedfan1234 ( talk) 15:33, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
When is Channel 7 two Melbourne, Australia going to have episodes of Houdini & doyle on their channel? It was advertised a lot and then nothing more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.188.23.150 ( talk) 06:39, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
