I believe that it's about time this page was cleaned up, so I have decided to do what Father Ted and Little Britain pages have one and tidy the page up by creating a new page for smaller characters. I will keep all the major characters on the page (most are Paul Whitehouse's) of course FOxearth 23/3/2006 (UTC)
Is there any evidnce that Channel 9 is mostly Italian. Surely it is Spanish or Portugese. THe map Paula Fisch uses is of Iberia after all.
I'm editing the "mostly South American channel" part, since Chanel 9 is obviously Meditteranean-focused. The BBC website describes it as that as well. Jack the Stripper 14:24, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Is this the wrong show or did this have "L is for Labour, L is for Lice"?—Preceding unsigned comment added by SimplySouth ( talk • contribs)
I agree with the proposal that Scorchio should be merged with this page. NotMuchToSay 00:06, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Why is this article redirected from "Arthur Atkins" when there is no Arthur Atkins in the article? There is a "Arthur Atkinson" mentioned in the article.
The text says there were four series plus and Christmas special, plus The Last Fast Show Ever, in three parts. However, I've only been able to find DVDs of three series, plus only part one of the Last Fast Show Ever (as is also mentioned in the available DVDs list). Are the others available anywhere? Were they ever released? Or is it a mistake and there were only ever three series and only one part of the Last Show Ever? 81.129.128.99 19:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
The characters section is missing the bloke in the pub, who, when engaged in a conversation, always agrees with the last person who spoke, even if he/she contradicts his last opinion. JIP | Talk 20:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
What about the series of Chanel 9 adverts 'Tippo-magico' in which the usefulness of an articulated orange plastic device is enthusiastically, if not very clearly, demonstrated in a latin and greek-based mock 'foreign language' - all rather reminiscent of the UK television advertising of some K-tel products.

I took the liberty of correcting some small mistakes and adding some extra info on the characters "Competitive Dad", "Roy and Renee" and "Monster, Monster". The errors were as follows:
Dennoman ( talk) 10:39, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
"The show produced two national tours, the first in 1998 with the cast of the BBC spoof quiz show Shooting Stars"
Why should they tour using the cast of Shooting Stars rather than their own? Does this mean they did a joint tour, or what? Britmax ( talk) 21:06, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I notice the references to Foster's Funny, but there is no reason why they decided to take the Fast Show on. Should there not be a section for this? I would not do that as I am not professional :) but could someone take this on, maybe? 92.21.209.218 ( talk) 18:26, 6 December 2011 (UTC) (c/o Daylon124 becuase of security in a public libary)
Since it's not possible to add in a YouTube reference due to Wikipedia's spam filter and I'm unable to find another source online then it's a fact that will have to go unreferenced for the time being. It's easily verifiable by watching the end of episode 6 where it is announced, so as such I'm going to add it back in Fraggle81 ( talk) 05:00, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
The article currently claims that the Jazz Club sketches are a parody of The Old Grey Whistle Test. In fact, it's pretty obvious that they are parodying Jazz 625, even down to the black and white photography. There was little or no jazz featured on TOGWT. -- Ef80 ( talk) 18:23, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
Nothing to do with Jamie Oliver - it's just a traslation of matar paneer. Stub Mandrel ( talk) 20:19, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
Yes, the official site does spell it like that. But that seems to be at odds with Whitehouse's actually delivery: [2]? Martinevans123 ( talk) 13:37, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
The article states that Mark Williams had no involvement in the series after 2000, but this isn't true, is it? He featured in the intro "You ain't seen me, right?" and as the leader of the archery club in the Jazz Club sketch.
This character predates the Fast Show - he appears on Wogan here on 27/3/92, as a spoof pretending to be a real person.

I've tagged three sections as possibly containing original research. I'm going to give it a month for someone to come up with some reliable sources for the section on filming locations: if it's still unsourced, I'll be deleting the lot. ~dom Kaos~ ( talk) 11:19, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
Trying to add a bit more detail to the various sketches but they keep getting deleted. It's a bit difficult to 'add sources' when watching the show itself is the 'source'. All the details I have tried to add ARE accurate, I have seen the series many times. 2A00:23C5:3508:8900:DD58:192B:6297:B133 ( talk) 16:10, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
