This article contains some incredibly unencyclopedic language ("gross things such as slugs...") and the article generally meets no notability criteria - does not assert its significance, etc. ╟─ Treasury Tag ► contribs ─╢ 20:41, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete--very non-notable: no hits in Google News, and I can't even find them on the BBC website (though correct me if I'm wrong). Drmies (talk) 21:14, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. here it is (although in a crystal-balling fashion) from the BBC. It would be useful when you make comments such as "no hits in Google News" for you to tell us precisely what searches you have done - that way we can avoid reinventing the wheel. I bet a search for "crush" does get hits in Google News, so you must have refined your search in some way. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:32, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Right, sorry--I was in a bit of a hurry. I searched for "crush" and "television", and later threw in "BBC." That's a fairly obvious search, perhaps, but I'll try to be more complete. Drmies (talk) 23:53, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The unencyclopedic language is irrelevant to deletion. I contested the WP:PROD deletion of this article on the grounds that nearly all nationally broadcast TV shows are found to be notable, but I can't see any notability for this one. Googling the title with the presenters' names and "BBC" - - comes up with no independent reliable sources. The same searches in the Google News archive get no hits. I would expect any notable British TV programme of this vintage to have reliable sources available online. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:32, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
