If someone wants to add an episode guide to the TV series, details can be found of some on the BBC website -- jmb 23:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
As his forename is Peter, why is his nickname Para if this is the Gaelic equivalent of Paddy, i.e. Patrick? Mutt Lunker ( talk) 21:52, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Cluthas were not chain ferries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.105.108.139 ( talk) 21:57, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
My reading of the Para Handy stories was that they were as much about the writer's gullibility as the characters themselves -- ie that the reporter was taking as fact the "tall tales" of a stereotypical seaman.... Prof Wrong ( talk) 11:36, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
This section is a bit odd, as it makes it seem that the 1992 collection is the first, even though it then names the separate volumes of stories, which were in themselves collections. Does anyone have the information on how the stories were first collected and sold, and when they came together into the larger collections we have today? My first contact was a volume of my dad’s, which had the Para Handy tales, Erchie and Jimmy Swann; I know that more up-to-date volumes have brought together the original collections with tales which did not get anthologized, but I have neither my original book, nor the new collections to hand to add information.
