Talk:Jonathan Meades

Untitled
This article sounds rather gushing. Perhaps it is copied from a publisher's blurb.

I don't agree. I think he's superb! - Andy Deighton, Salford

I've removed the parts about "tupping in the Cathedral", which was just the writer's PoV. Although Meades gave no citation, the same could be said about virtually every TV documentary - it's not a medium that lends itself to citation. I also wouldn't say that this is Meades' "signature style" - it's common among "talking head" documentary (see also Jonathon Miller's "The Body In Question", and even Kenneth Clarke's seminal "Civilisation").

 * I did quite a bit of work on this and I think it might be warranted for an upgrade from Stub class. It does provide quite a bit of useful information about his TV work. It could do with some sources though.Gingerblokey 20:22, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Jerry Building and Joe Building are 12 years apart. It's not really a series per se. --NoiZy 01:31, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

This article is an irredeemable mess — ungrammatical, badly punctuated and clumsily written from beginning to end. I have tidied it up a little — a very little — but have neither the time nor the inclination nor (more importantly) the knowledge to write something that does justice to Jonathan Meades, who is a fine writer and has been responsible for some excellent television documentaries. Perhaps somebody better informed would like to do so.

 * That doesn't appear to be a particularly rational observation. Perhaps you saw a different version of the programme to me, as I can't thing of anything in it that fits that description. Nick Cooper (talk) 08:30, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I've been watching 'Jerry Building' on Youtube today. It is as I remembered; a model of concision, erudition and moral disdain for such a bunch of Germanic Daily Mail readers. Perhaps 62.248. . . is a reader?Keith-264 (talk) 18:59, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I did wonder, but was giving them the benefit of the doubt.... Nick Cooper (talk) 19:07, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I see from your details that you work in the Nash. Hard luck! :-)Keith-264 (talk) 19:27, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

What about this article? Meadsey (talk) 18:34, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Balance
There needs to be some sort balance in the article. It is full of vague "blurb-talk" - e.g. "these visually innovative documentaries". Such statements need to be substantiated. Meadsey (talk) 19:44, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
