BFI listing of Soft Targets, which was a Play of the Day, from 1982, in which he played Alexie Ptrlws (talk) 21:24, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Doh! Apologies, Play for Today, not “Play of the Day”! :) Ptrlws (talk) 21:25, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Right, I’ve added Play for Today to television filmography. As ‘Soft Targets’ is the name of the play itself, rather than the overall show, I have not included this. Please do let me know if you feel there are any improvements to how I’ve added this. Thanks! Ptrlws (talk) 12:32, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

I've added a citation to the BBC obituary. It may be applicable to many parts of the article. The reference is named and the URL is https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13960349. Feel free to use it. I'll look back in when I have a moment. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:50, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Hospital
But some source said Ian Holm was born at Mental Hospital in Goodmayes, Essex, but some source is said he was born in goodmayes, essex, which one is trust to support the his birth in ? I see the source for example https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8439945/Lord-Rings-star-Sir-Ian-Holm-dies-aged-88-battle-Parkinsons-disease.html, https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-13960349, https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/419430/british-actor-sir-ian-holm-dies-aged-88, because his father was work there and birth there? I searched by the internet the mental hospital is called goodmayes hospital, so that he was born there, but i not sure there can be support his birth place in this hospital ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.40.137.200 (talk) 11:18, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 1. Stop edit warring on this.
 * 2. This articles does not say he was born in a mental hospital. We say he was born in Goodmayes. That is all that is needed. We don't need to add the trivial detail of which hospital (where would it end, for crying out loud: bed number and ward name?) So all we say - and this is the common approach across the whole of WP - is the town in which he was born.

3. If you disagree with this, you should not revert yet again, but discuss. - SchroCat (talk) 11:36, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

The Lord Of The Rings radio play.
Ian Holm played Frodo Baggins in the 1981 BBC Radio 4 adaptation of The Lord Of The Rings. Not sure whether it should be added, or even where it could be added. Link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_%281981_radio_series%29 Starfiend (talk) 01:31, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
