Talk:Beyond Our Ken/Archive 1

Background section
The background section currently includes the text of several memos from the BBC archives. No source is given for these and no statement on their copyright status. I have removed them from the article and pasted them below. If someone could clarify the source and the copyright status, we can put them back, or put them somewhere more appropriate and reference them. Until then, I don't think they should be in the article.

1) Memo from Merriman regarding the programme which had a working title of Don't Look Now.

2) A memo dated July 8, 1957 supporting the idea and proposing a budget also exists in the BBC Archives.

3) The initial proposal, particularly the title, was not immediately well received as revealed in a memo dated August 22, 1957.

I'll have a go at rewriting the article section without the unsourced memos. Bluewave (talk) 12:20, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Meaning
"Beyond our ken"....what does it mean? Is it an English phrase? --Hooperbloob 02:31, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I've added the following..."The name is a pun on Kenneth Horne's name and the (now mainly Scots/Scottish English) word ken, meaning 'knowledge or perception'."&mdash;Moilleadóir 07:04, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

humourous
This is not a typo. "Humourous" is the actual spelling and a direct quotation. The BBC uses British English. Dbromage 06:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * 'Humourous' is actually a misspelling, not only in the US, but also in the UK and the Commonwealth.
