  • I put quite a bit of work into this to get it to a better standard. It's getting there,and this will be cleaned up very soon. To count I think 3 people are working on this. Let's hope this gets cleaned up soon as I think this is a very good show. (JS)
  • JS again. Looked through it and noticed that very little has to be done. WE have to clean up the criticisms column and perhaps go into a bit more detail and definitely add links. Oh and if possible,make a table of each week's winner's?
I've effectively rewritten the entire 'Guest Presenters' section (and renamed it as "Acts" since they're not guest presenters at all) to correct the grammar and give more general descriptions of the acts. Still needs work though. Foolish Mortal 22:29, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks foolish,i've decided on a checklist of what needs done so this is easier.When we do the lot I think we have succesfully cleaned it up.

1.external links

2.Wikipedia Categories

3.Short paragraph on the other Balls of Steel like programme on Channel 4

4. Redirect that other programme to here.

5.Add hyperlinks to other wikipedia entries.

6.Clean up those other three paragraphs.

Feel free to tell me if we need anything else. Bye for now,(JS)--213.107.255.247 16:58, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh Dear,there's another Balls of Steel. I'm gonna redirect it to here. I'll save the text in my computer just in case we need it back. (JS) 213.107.255.247 15:34, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Done,Done and dusted. All cleaned up. looks liek we've done it. (JS)J.J.Sagnella 11:09, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page move

There's an attempt going on at a page move, it's a little confusing, however I think the aim is to move this page to Balls of Steel (TV). Just thought I'd leave a note here. Driller thriller 17:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Series

In the second series, new contestants include:

Mr Inappropriate A bloke who does things to people who is just wrong, eg; on one episode he teaches real foreign students sexual related words.

The Penis Trap A women who makes blokes help her out then has a go at them for looking at her and is sexist.

The annoying devil is a new person, but plays the same character.

[edit] YouTube links

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 03:31, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Winners

Right, let's just take off all records of any results in any TV show, then. I have been adding the past winners of the Balls Of Steel weekly trophy, because it is RELEVANT TO THE SHOW. Yet some idiot has decided that he knows what people should and shouldn't know about the show, and repeatedly removes the information without explanation. I can't exaggerate just how stupid this is. Stop doing it, it is pathetic.

Really, Wikipedia isn't the place to start creating arguments and making arguments. Discuss this civilly before creating edit wars or starting conflicts. In My opinion, as the show is more about the comedy and less about the winners (Channel 4 lists it always as Comedy and not Competition on 4od), I really doubt that an average reader coming to Wikipedia for the first time and clicking this article would want to know about the winners of each show. And at the end of the day, first-time readers are primarily Wikipedia's main audience and so the guidelines for a good article on Wikipedia are made for them. Of course if you owuld like to respond civilly to this, I would be happy to reply and may be persauded if there really is reason enough. J.J.Sagnella 13:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A note on 'The Fuckers'

Just added that the sex isn't real - you can quite clearly see that they are wearing flesh coloured pants in the vital areas! Having real sex, I think, would be illegal in the contexts they do it in. I think they tow a fine line just being semi-clothed. Xzamuel 19:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Probably. But then again, I'd be just as surprised if half of Neg's sports are legal. -- Smjg 23:57, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Identity of World's Worst

This edit, reverted 18 minutes later, gave his name as Ross Noble.

If there's no evidence of what his name is, what evidence is there of what his name isn't? -- Smjg 23:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Ross Noble is a comedian. Bencey 12:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] series 3

i seen something in this article earlier about series 3 but now it is removed:S:S is there going to one if so add it again and cite it. in my opiniun thier will be lots more series's, the show is brilliant.Andrew22k 19:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Can anyone site the source of information? I've heard nothing on a new series, the last one had only just finished I'd be surprised if they announced it, and announced who would be leaving.
