[edit] Date

The Manuel of Style, Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Date_formats_related_to_topics, states that if an article relates to a particular country then its advisable to use that country's date system. This is a British programme, so I have done that. Most British people have their birth/death dates in this format so I don't see your problem. --Berks105 12:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay fair enough, I'd read the part further up the page which contradicts this WP:MOSDATE#Dates_containing_a_month_and_a_day. I have no problem with it, I just thought Wikipedia did. As I have my date formatting set to date/month/year it made no personal difference to me, I just thought we should abide by the rule. Obviously when there's too different rules, this isn't as easy as I once thought. ~~ Peteb16 12:15, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Christmas special

The current pattern of scheduling would lead me to believe that a Christmas special cannot follow the end of the series. Episode 5 would presumably be broadcast on 22nd December and episode 6 would be broadcast on the 29th. Either one of these is likely to be Christmas related however, but if the relevant episode turns out to be part of the normal run of the series, the title 'Christmas special' would be a bit ambigous. ~~ Peteb16 14:57, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I've got a "Christmas special" from the Radio Times, that stated that six episodes and one Christmas special were made. I suppose we can't tell whether they are wrong until the Christmas schedules are announced. --Berks105 23:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Real location of fictional town

I have amended the Jam & Jerusalem with the addition of the line:

Some have suggested that the show is based on the actual village of Chagford where Jennifer Saunders has a home.

Twice now User:Berks105 has deleted this with the note that it needs referencing. What reference is need? I am a resident of Chagford and know that Jennifer Saunders owns a house on the edge of the village. And as a resident have been part of the village discussions that 'suggests' the sitcom is based on Chagford.

Below are some link to site showing that JS has a house in Chagford

I'm sorry, but the fact that members of your village have suggested that the sitcom is based on Chagford is totally irrelevant to an encyclopedia. Wikipedia can't put village gossip on there. If Saunders herself says it, then fair enough, but otherwise it is not relevant. --Berks105 10:35, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
