Still questionable for all applicable notability and I have found nothing convincingly better at all to suggest better improvements. Also, looking through the history shows this has never contained anything outstandingly better, my searches show there's nothing to therefore suggest a better article.

 * Comment - surprised that no more sources can be found for such a full article. Has the article's creator been directly approached? Martinevans123 (talk) 18:28, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree, the article's creator should be approached. Tom29739 [ talk ] 20:06, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * There's no actual active author now as it seems this was started in 2005 but a now not-active user (since 2011) thus there's no one to ask. SwisterTwister   talk  20:36, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment - there are a number of sources listed in the "Press" section of his website . Most of them are not available online, but at least this one is:, and it's fairly substantial. I found other shorter references to his show and quotes from him, in the Guardian , the Express , the Independent , and so on. Can anyone find a source to back up the statement that his show is "the UK's most listened to current affairs/topical debate programme"? -- IamNotU (talk) 18:35, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
