Trenchant, how trenchant?
"Colin McArthur has made a trenchant criticism... of the failure of contemporary commentators to interrogate the narrative...".

Has he, by god? "trenchant", is it? "Colin", should we? "McArthur", would you? "Narrative", you say?

Is this really necessary? To have the unspecified opinions of a critic, which appear to be about the unspecified opinions of other critics, inserted in to the intro of a wikipedia page about a gentle and harmless mid-50s Ealing comedy?

I suppose, if it's trenchant, who am I to argue? Let it stand Robin J Thomson (talk) Robin J Thomson (talk) 18:56, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The chemist, a no nonsense woman she was, asked;
 * "Would you like the pills wrapped?"
 * And then I asked;
 * "Are they round?"
 * "Yes" she said, quite nonchalant, y'know.
 * So I replied;
 * "Well I'll just roll them home myself, save you some time." Robin J Thomson (talk) 18:37, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
