Talk:Grace & Favour

Maggie Holland
Is the actress Maggie Holland really the singer to whom this article is linked? Unlikely I think... --Weydonian (talk) 22:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope. Looks like someone created the singer page in the mean time. Fixed link.MArcane (talk) 22:55, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

British English
I'm really not a stickler for British English (and certainly not looking for a spelling war) but if the intent of this article is to be in British English, there's a couple of changes that I'd like to suggest: -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:32, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * womanizing -> womanising
 * vacation -> holiday
 * treated her right -> treated her well


 * From what I heard in IRC, "womanizing" is actually debatable. Apparently Oxford's university press prefers the spelling with a z. The other ones you can change by yourself, you know. Mike H (Talking is hot) 00:36, July 23, 2005 (UTC)


 * The debate over '-ize' vs. '-ise' endings in British spelling rages among pedants. OUP house style is to have -ize, and I generally prefer it, but it does create difficulties with some words such as 'advertise' which never take -ize because they are from a different stem. See American and British English spelling differences. David | Talk 08:48, 27 July 2005 (UTC)


 * FWIW, the "-ize" spelling derives from the ancient Greek -&iota;&zeta;&omega; suffix, which performs the same function of turning a noun into a verb. JHCC (talk) 13:42, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I find the use of words like "programme" to come across a bit affected. I've changed them to the simpler 'show'. MArcane 03:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Article tense
I've revised the tense in the article to make it present instead of past. Particularly in the 'premise' section, it sounded odd to refer to the storyline in the past tense. The same should be done to the 'plot' section, but I've run out of time.MArcane 03:58, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Where was Mr. Lucas?
The article claims that Mike Berry was the only non-returning cast member. If so, why is Trevor Bannister never mentioned? I also see no reference to Arthur English.
 * They were not cast members at the time that AYBS went off the air.MArcane 22:55, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Never before seen cat?
The article plot contains a sentence referring to Mrs. Slocombe's cat, saying incorrectly that this is the first time we've seen it. Actually, we did see Tiddles in the original series, at least in prop form. I actually believe we did see a live Tiddles in the original series as well, but I'm not in a position to re-watch the whole thing to find out which episode. Perhaps someone else? 24.57.239.43 (talk) 02:22, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Hurray: You can watch the whole series now online!
Just wanted everybody to know:

The whole series (All twelve episodes) can be seen (For free) on YouTube, in reasonable (VHS) Quality. Sorry for not signing this entry. What a stupid idea to use Tildes for that - not everybody uses those awful machines called 'Windows-PC's), en they're to be found nowhere (Or god knows by what key-combination) on a MAC-keyboard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.200.56.102 (talk) 02:08, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Reason For Only Two Series?
Is there any particular reason why this show only had two series? Scheduling conflicts? Poor ratings? Creators didn't have more material for the setting? Cast issues? Dalton Imperial (talk) 16:24, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
