Talk:Bananaman

Titlecard
The TV show has an image (the titlecard), the comic doesn't, but that's not surprising, as most British comic characters don't, for copyright reasons. Digifiend (talk) 13:50, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Tim Brooke-Taylor voiced Eric
This has been a bit of a contentious issue as websites such as www.tv.com & affiliated sites often list Bill Oddie as being the voice of Eric. The Goodies toured Australia last year & I decided to put this topic to rest. I asked Tim Brooke-Taylor himself who confirmed that yes he did voice Eric. He wrote it on my Dandy comic cover which if anyone wants any evidence can be found here:

It clearly says "Little Eric" aka Tim Brooke-Taylor (Tim's little joke as I asked him to sign it the other way around as Graeme Garden had done)

Poem?
Is the poem from the show? --Kjoonlee 18:01, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Writer and artist
Infobox says Writer: Steve Bright, Artist: John Geering. Is that correct? Bright is the second artist, surely he only wrote the strips he drew, and the Geering-era writer is unknown? Digifiend (talk) 13:49, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

My father Gerry O'Donnell wrote many of the scripts for Bananaman in the Nutty Comic, along with other writers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.157.161.175 (talk) 11:26, 3 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I believe the character was created at least in part by Dave Donaldson, who was Editor of the Nutty at the time. I added this to the article. The best citation I could find was the Historic Scotland one. Cmungall (talk) 17:57, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

animated or live action
Does anyone know if the planned bananaman movie is going to be an animated movie orlive action — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melvyn the psychopathic aardvark (talk • contribs) 16:19, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Origin of the name "Nerk"
Is there any information on where the name "Nerk" came from? Could it be from Porridge (TV series)? They use "nerk" as a '70s TV friendly substitute for a much ruder expletive. According to the article it is a neologism coined by the show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielklein (talk • contribs) 07:13, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Bananaman (TV series)
I would suggest that you split the Bananaman TV series section and move it to its own page "Bananaman (TV series)". AdamDeanHall (talk) 17:30, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

I would agree that this is a fair suggestion. The TV series was fairly notable on its own. Dunarc (talk) 18:47, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes. I would certainly agree that the TV series should have its own section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moonbeam1812 (talk • contribs) 10:12, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

And I also agree it should be a separate page. Why is it every time I see one of these discussions on Wikipedia they're always years old, and even though multiple people agree on a subject like this, none of the experienced editors have done it yet? Danstarr69 (talk) 17:49, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

It needs sources before it can be split into a separate article. I have created a Draft:Bananaman (TV series) to encourage this. – Laundry Pizza 03  ( d c&#x0304; ) 08:16, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

First Appearance Dandy
The first appearance for the Dandy is listed as 2012 (Electronic publication). Given the Nutty merged with the Dandy in 1985 (per Nutty wiki page), it feels like this should list 1985 instead of, or as well as, 2012. Flamefew (talk) 00:01, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
