"...the voice of Laura Shavin".

Seems redundant for a radio show, all the cast appear in voice only.

[edit] NTL Broadband

User 82.29.215.250 has changed the name linked with NTL Broadband from Hugh Dennis to Marcus Brigstocke. Brigstocke had very little input to the late 2006 series and as I remember it, it was BT rather than NTL that gave him trouble. It may be that Dennis was the correct name.

And you're correct. Changy change. --Islomaniac 973 16:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Git Wizard

I set-up a separate Git Wizard Page as the reference transcends the Now Show into Brigstocks appearances on other shows on different media.

There is a suggestion that there should not be a separate page for `Git Wizard', what do others think?

Also, there is a re-direct of `Git Wizzard' (note two z) directly to the David Blaine page, which although funny in some respects, is a bit misdirecting as you have to scroll down as far as trivia before it makes sense.

I've put in a "Git Wizard" section to David Blaine, and relocated all the material there. Neddyseagoon - talk 13:23, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

All reference to "Git Wizard" has been expunged from the David Blaine article - if there's anything worth saving someone needs to salvage it from that article's history. There's a section on the talk page about how neutral that article is, because it currently reads like a publicity puff from Blaine's agent - some fan must be running a protection campaign on that page or something. Git Wizard currently redirects to the David Blaine article. I just added a brief mention that links the reference to here and Radio 4. Maybe it should just be a reference on the Marcus Brigstock article, since it's mostly him who dislikes Blaine? PaulHammond (talk) 23:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Running Joke suggestion

How about the Chewbacca impersonations? Doozy88 18:29, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking much the same thing. It was in last week's, and this week's. I'd say if it's in next week's (or in the first episode and I just can't remember it), it's in. --Islomaniac 973 18:58, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Similarly with mentions of the PC Brigade. Perhaps. --Islomaniac 973 19:55, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
