Talk:Armchair Detectives

no app
I am puzzled and concerned about the mention of the fact that there is "no app" available for viewers to play along. For the following reasons;


 * Wikipedia generally doesn't discuss things that a TV programme lacks, as this can be suggestive that they should have it. This is advancing an opinion.  Armchair Detectives also lacks a twitter feed along the bottom of the screen.  An online forum.  A phone-in section.  A green-room spin off show on BBC Three.  A meet-the-actors YouTube channel.  Do we mention all this? No. This is why Wikipedia doesn't itemise things that don't exist.


 * Although appropriately cited, it's just to a passing mention in a tweet. I don't think Bodycombe was making an official statement, and certainly not suggesting that there might be an app in future.


 * The viewing public can be 'armchair detectives' on their own without a smartphone app. The show works successfully without any need for one.  This is the point Bodycombe was making.  He was just emphasising the "anyone can play along" aspect.


 * 1000s of gameshows are broadcast every year without an associated app. No-one feels the need to point out this glaring oversight on their articles.  Why should Armchair Detectives be different?

Basically, it reads like a curious, out of place, criticism without any basis. Has anyone even suggested it should have one? -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 11:52, 13 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Upon reading your assessment, I concede. Go ahead with that snip. You are more than welcome to help copyedit/tidy up/expand the article to your heart's content too. :)--Coin945 (talk) 03:55, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
