MD m/f?
To MarnetteD: But just to get it right, in case it will ever be needed again (hopefully never, godforbid) for me to use a pronoun on you: Do you indeed identify as male? (If so, you do see how someone could unintentionally make a mistake on that, right?) Spiny Norman (talk) 20:03, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I suggest that you look at Template:He or she. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 21:48, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see how knowing their gender is any useful. Just refer to anyone as you or they if unsure.  Callmemirela   &#127809; talk 00:51, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * He's been told repeatedly that MarnetteD is a man, but seems to be convinced that it's a woman's name, and continues to push the issue. I guess he thinks we're making it all up even though we've worked with the editor for years. -- -- Dr. Margi   ✉  05:40, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Episodes missing credits
You seem to have inside information on this subject. Isn't episode 1.1 missing end credits also? Or have they been sourced from other than Frost's archive copy? Saguaro-sun/chuckstreet (talk) 10:51, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, so they are - but strangely, not the encore after that! It's legally on youtube, even. The upcoming DVD release will probably find a way around that. Audio exists for nearly everything. Actually, the end credits of two series 2 episodes are missing as well, one of them without audio. Spiny Norman (talk) 11:49, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
