 * Shhhhush! He might also turn out to have been a journalist for the BBC. There would then be no chance whatsoever of denying the clearly unfounded charge of nepotism visavis the career choice of his son Roland. Hmmmmm, wonder if he's good chums with the Snow and Dimbleby families.1812ahill (talk) 03:08, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Moral Maze on Marriage: Valentines Day 2024 (discrepancy)
During BBC R4's Moral Maze aired on 14 February 2024, Michael Buerk discussing the decline in marriage, said he had been married 54 years! This would make his marriage date 1970 and not 1968 bio?

By chance on the same evening Evan Davis on his PM programme asked Michael about his own Valentines day routine. Michael again said he had been married 54 years, so it is unlikely to be a slip of the tongue on two seperate occasions, on the same day?https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001w8cr

It is worth noting he was at the start of his career in the late 60's sharing a house with fellow journalist Sue Lawley.

My inclination is to update the marriage date to 1970.

 * They did marry in 1968. You can see their marriage entry in General Register Office; United Kingdom; Volume: 9a; Page: 47 2A00:23C6:1A45:7B01:E30D:C391:510F:AF98 (talk) 21:36, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
