From the article:
I have couple problems with that paragraph, firstly there are many TV shows apart from the two mentioned above that transfered to Radio such as Yes Minister, Dad's Army, Steptoe and Son, and One Foot in the Grave to name a few all had radio versions after the tv version had started. I'm not completely sure that none of those were on Radio 4 but rather on other BBC station. Personally I don't think it matters that much whether they were on Radio 4 or any other BBC station because I think this article should be about all BBC Radio shows that have transfered to television rather that just Radio 4 shows, one of the list already is a Radio Scotland show, and wasn't Hancock broadcast before Radio 4 even existed? I intened to add two Radio 1 shows to the article ( Fist of Fun and Blue Jam, which was turned into Channel 4's jam). I think i'll be bold in renaming the article without the number 4, if anyone disagrees feel free to rename it back and discuss why you disagree with me.
The other problem is what source have you got to suggest that public opinion is favorable? As I understand it radio audience figures are only published quarterly so theres no way of knowing how many listeners its had compared to other R4 programmes in the same timeslot. Sorry if you weren't refering to audience fgures but if not what were you refering to? Saul Taylor 15:39, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
What about Harry Hill's work? I was a regular listener of Harry Hill's Fruit Corners on Radio 4 circa 1996. When his TV show Harry Hill came on Channel 4, it featured many of the same characters and sketches.
But when I looked up Hill on the IMDB, there was a listing for him before both those shows: a TV show called Harry Hill's Fruit Fancies. So is this the first British comedy show to go from TV to radio and then back to TV?
I've removed The Navy Lark from the table -- the TV Lark was a radio show, set at a small TV station, not a TV show. There's a few Navy-Lark-ish films but no TV.
A few early gameshows from Radio Luxembourg went to ITV when it was formed. There is probably not enough scope for a different page, so I have put them as a footnote on this page. Tony Corsini 00:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
