Why do editors feel the need to copypaste summaries from cultbox, (series 3 episodes 2,3, 4), or the Radio Times which are previews and not attempt to make them encyclopedic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.125.27.14 ( talk) 21:03, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Can anyone provide sources for the episode titles that have suddenly appeared for all three series? The BBC just refers to them as (eg) 'Series 1, Episode 1'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.40.110 ( talk) 13:15, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
They're not from the DVDs - even they (all three seasons) don't use titles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.160.61.6 ( talk) 14:56, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
Re: Copyvio. I've chopped the copy vio stuff. Each episode now has the briefest of outlines. The new version is on the Temp page. - X201 ( talk) 16:10, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
One section had several phrases that might have qualified as close paraphrasing. Section was substantially rewritten. -- Gregogil ( talk) 04:55, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Should we really be naming the murderer - it would be a huge spoiler for someone looking at the page to see if the show looked good, having heard about it but not watched it before. Maybe we are supplying too much information? Bruno Russell ( talk) 08:18, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
I shall remove the murderer. I think this is the only short summaries of a detective story that this has been done.
Also copy paste summaries are again being used and question asked within them?? Questions should not be asked in an encyclopedia. REVUpminster ( talk) 13:02, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Although I cannot find any citation to confirm it, it was explicitly stated on the continuity announcement during the credits for episode 4.8 that there would be a fifth series. What do you do in this situation? Lorry43424 ( talk) 19:27, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Can anybody confirm the title of 8:1 added with this edit? -- Gwadainfo ( talk) 13:55, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
I can't find the episode titles on Netflix, in fact I can't find this series on there. Also one of the edits says "proposed Episode title "A Stinging Murder"", proposed sounds like someone is making them up themselves. I think we're going to have to stop this editing without references, saying see Netflix" in the edit summary isn't enough. We need a consensus that unless a proper reference is supplied it get removed. That is a principle of Wikipedia, the person adding it, backs it up with a link. - X201 ( talk) 08:32, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
I found episode titles for some series 8 episodes on "hulufilms.stream", but I don't know if this is a reliable source. To me, it does not seem to be an official Hulu website. -- Gwadainfo ( talk) 21:46, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
The BBC episode guide has no names for any of the episodes. The show has no episode titles at the start of the episode (except for Beyond the Shining Sea). We do not know where the episode titles have actually come from. Were they always there but the BBC chooses not to use them? Were they invented by BBC distribution because streaming services require them? Have the streaming services themselves made them up? We have no reliable sources to tell us the source of the titles. I think we should resort to the most reliable information we have, the episode title when it was broadcast i.e "Episode 1" and remove the other titles. They're mostly unsourced anyway. - X201 ( talk) 14:27, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
When the series 10 viewing figures started appearing, I added a note - as I and others have done before on other articles - to the top of the section, so that any reader would know that the figures displayed were the 7 day figures and not the 28 day figures used in all other series in the article. Without the note a reader may wrongly assume that series 10 had lower viewer numbers than previous series and draw an incorrect conclusion. Flappyschnell has removed the note a number of times, they obviously disagree with it's inclusion, but it's only their most recent removal that had an edit summary explaining their reasons. That's fine, we all have our own opinions, but I think the reason given for removal isn't a good one. Saying that we don't need to make readers aware of the fact they're not comparing apples with apples is wrong. Readers need to know that the viewing figures in series 10 are not the same as series 1-9.
Without the note, the only possible solution I can see is no 7 day figures and we wait for the 28 day figures instead. Another option is that we change all viewing figures for all series to 7-day figures. We're going to need a note somewhere because 28-day data is not available for the early series, so having mixed data for them is also misleading. A third option is we list 7-day and 28-day figures in their own columns.
Either way, I think it's wrong to mix data without alerting the user to the fact that it has been mixed. They need to know what the numbers are referring to. Opinions anyone? - X201 ( talk) 09:11, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
When is Season 12 going to air ? I Love this Show and I need more episodes to come ! The creators are Brilliant and the Writers for our very talented actors who are Absolutely Amazing! Please keep up the Great work. I almost forgot to mention the Commissioner, he is just so poised, handsome, love his smile, also a Great actor !!!

Season 12 Episode 2 indicates "whodunnit" (i.e., gives the murderer's name) which should be prohibited (granted, an encyclopedic entry would, ordinarily, include such, but, it isn't necessary, here). Other episodes may have the same issue. Skaizun ( talk) 20:19, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
Why were all the colors changed to very bright pink colors? They were fine as blue and green and yellow and SOME pink, but it changed...
