Talk:Stanley Unwin (comedian)

Untitled
The person supposedly campaigning against animal nudity was perhaps San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen. His spoof campaign is mentioned here. However, it would seem not to have been on the Tonight programme since according to our article that has only been running since 1999. Shantavira 17:28, 7 October 2005 (UTC)


 * That's Tonight with Trevor McDonald. Before this there was a long-running BBC current affairs programme called by the same name presented by (among others) Cliff Michelmore. David | Talk 15:25, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm almost certain the animal nudity campaign mentioned here was the SINA hoax. That would make the person Unwin interviewed either Alan Abel or Buck Henry. PapayaSF 05:28, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I can confirm that the person Stanley "interviewed" was Alan Abel. We still (somewhere) have the autographed copy of the book "Yours for Decency" that Able gave him. JohnSU 11 May 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnSU (talk • contribs) 13:47, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Enormous list of unreferenced funny words?
Is it really essential to have this enormous list, without a single reference, on a serious encyclopaedia article? I really think it makes the article look crap. As a minimum we need proper third party sources, or else it will have to come down per WP:V. --John (talk) 22:11, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It's pretty much essential. This vocabulary is what made Unwin noteworthy in the first place. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:33, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * In that case it should be easy to find decent references that say so. --John (talk) 22:48, 11 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Funnily enough, I am not seeing similar sections on articles like Michael Bentine, Spike Milligan. I wonder why? Let's give it another 24 hours and if nobody can reference it we can take it back down again. --John (talk) 20:05, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
