This needs some work

I deleted a fake link inisus —Preceding undated comment was added at 20:09, 11 December 2008 (UTC).

Text moved to talk page.
With this edit, I moved the following text from the article page to this talk page:

Problems with the text on the article page include:  HWV258  06:27, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The tone is inappropriate for WP
 * Allegations of "hate" should be referenced
 * Much of the text is related to personalities (and not the show itself). If any of the text is verifiable, it should be moved to pages related to the people involved.
 * Was this sullen rant written by one of that pair of ugly dikes who appeared in the doco about Jennifer? Who complained about her being ‘bossy’? Schoolgirl sniping.

The very appeal of this show was the engaging amateurishness of a duo of grotesque females who could nonetheless cook up a storm. If they truly detested each other, then they were in fact peerless professionals. Not a whit of animosity emerged on screen.

According to newspapers the two had never met before the show. Clarissa was of a substantial intellect and had been a barrister (the youngest in UK history?) during the 70s and 80s. While Jennifer disliked Clarissa, the dislike was not reciprocated. Jennifer was a professional cook for most of her life, while Clarissa had only turned to semi professional cooking as a means of income after leaving the UK Bar.220.240.228.205 (talk) 11:34, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Over-linking
Hi. With these edits, exactly what I feared would happen, has happened. Sorry, but this article suffers from over-linking. If anyone feels the need to remove such links as "goose", "stuffing", "kidneys", "white white", "cabbage", "dill", "Ireland", "Jamaica", "Devilled" (a red link entered twice), "peaches", and "cream" (for Heaven's sake), etc.—they will have my full support.

 * I removed many of these links; we should give readers the chance to see links on the less-known subjects rather than dictionary-word foods. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:56, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Americanism
The Archbishop of Westminster does not have "aides", much less senior aides. These American expressions should be avoided.101.98.175.68 (talk) 02:21, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Was?
Whenever I look up an old US television series on Wikipedia, the lede usually says something like ‘Lotsalaffs is a sitcom starring Hannah Hilarity and Billy Boffo…’ etc etc even if it went off-air in 1975 and both stars are dead or worse.

Why the use of the present tense? I guess this is because episodes are re-broadcast and/or available for rent or purchase, so the show remains in-effect current. Nu?

So why does TFL rate the past tense? I have the VHS cassettes right here in front of me. Look here. See? 124.150.79.224 (talk) 08:54, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
