[edit] Location?

Are you sure that the show takes place in London? I always got the impression that it was in set in a small town. Then again, I'm from the US, and I don't know exactly how London is organised. Plus, didn't Fowler make fun of London police officers (and mention being stationed outside the M25) in the football episode? --Japonai Narya 00:43, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Quite right--good spot--it takes place in "Gasforth". Corrected. Quill 03:48, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm late to this discussion thread, but just wanted to add something. Although the M25 is indeed mentioned, Gasforth is almost certainly within an easy drive of London, as Grim at least once attends a meeting at Scotland Yard one morning and returns by noon. Gasforth is therefore on the periphery of greater London ??Engr105th (talk) 05:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

(I also just added the episode list. (I'm the 68.57; I had forgotten to log in.) Is there a standard format for doing these lists? I tried to use the way that some other sitcoms had it, but I'm not sure.)--Japonai Narya 14:27, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Order?

Question: what do you mean "order on DVD is wrong"? Do you mean that the order on the DVD is not the same as the order in which the episodes were aired? Quill 22:13, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Exactly, the episodes on disc 1 of the BBC DVD are not in broadcast order. Awostrack 21:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

That's true. The Queen's Birthday Present was the first episode aired, but the first one on the DVD is Rag Week. Jienum 19:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] episode summaries

It seems that the table is a summary of each episode, like what would be on the back of the DVD case. This does not seem appropriate. Could someone fix this?--Gramy! 20:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I see nothing particularly inappropriate about the summaries table; can you explain? Also, I have a 3-disc dvd set, bought in 2007. It doesn't summarize the episodes, just lists them...Engr105th (talk) 06:15, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
