Indeed, it is not easy to find a source, but I found one, so you can add it back the preferred way (tbh, I am not sure weather it should be added as a reference or as a source):
Also, I have seen the episode myself, of course, and so can you. 2A02:3100:10BA:F000:99F8:653B:653E:5684 ( talk) 22:42, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
Ben Macintyre has just published an article in The Times, Saturday September 9, 2023, page 27 in which he now provides evidence that the Pam letters were written by Hester May Murray Leggatt [sic], born 1905, died 1995. This is important new information, if true, but to incorporate it in the article will require careful re-writing, which I leave to those who are interested.

Please see this consensus on the appropriateness of the term, which has a specific meaning in English. - SchroCat ( talk) 13:27, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Then you don’t see much, or haven’t looked far. The sources are clear. Aside from those used in the article, Countering Hitler's Spies: British Military Intelligence, 1940–1945 By Stephen Wynn · 2020; Spying for Hitler: The Welsh Double-CrossBy John Humphries · 2012; Laconia incident - A High-Risk Military Rescue Operation of WWII Under The Line of Fire By Edgar Wollstone 2021; Ian Fleming's Inspiration: The Truth Behind the Books By Edward Abel Smith · 2020. And that’s before we go to the BBC, Wales Online, Daily Telegraph, The Times and, because you seem to like showing it, The Daily Mail. Ben Macintyre also refers to him as such, but it seems you may have missed that. I think we’re done here. You’ve produced nothing that overturns the sources, current consensus or the OED. - SchroCat ( talk) 21:36, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
I think it's awful, and wrong, for Wikipedia to refer to Glyndwr as a tramp. He was a human being above all else. 216.180.26.224 ( talk) 09:27, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
