TV's Naughtiest Blunders

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unable to find multiple non-trivial sources that show the significance of this television show, there is a small piece in the Scottish Daily Record & Sunday archived here and the rest is either routine television listings or brief mentions in articles about Steve Penk. pinktoebeans (talk) 19:46, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The review notes: "That the rudeness was an illusion on that occasion sadly renders it ineligible for TV'S Naughtiest Blunders (ITV, Wednesday, 10pm), which promises "a series of four-lettered utterances from a variety of famous faces". Presented by Steve Penk (pictured), it's an adult version of Dennis Norden's It'll Be All Right On The Night shows. Like most shows featuring out-takes, it uses too loose a definition of broadcasting embarrassment. ... On TV's Naughtiest Blunders, it's amusing when Martin Clunes gets sexually explicit on This Morning With Richard & Judy because the presenters look so terrified. But news reporters swearing when taped pieces to camera go wrong is no more interesting than other workplace cursing. The most intriguing aspect of the show is that the expletives aren't bleeped."  The review notes: "Proof if proof be needed that those in power don't give a monkey's for public opinion was there for all to see in TV's Naughtiest Blunders (ITV) which was put out in the old News At Ten slot. It was crammed full of four letter words even though that sort of thing tops the list of complaints in all viewer surveys. Stars caught effing and blinding included Frank Skinner, Caroline Quentin, Amanda Holden, Keith Barron, Brian Blessed and Jim Bowen. The only interesting thing to come out of the programme was that the women were worse than the men. The show looked as if cheeky schoolboys had compiled it.  There were lots of shots of animals farting, fornicating and going to the toilet."  The review notes: "Uncensored and unbleeped, Steve unveils TV's Naughtiest Blunders showing the clips that television's favourite actors, presenters and news reporters would rather the viewers never saw. From GMTV to CiTV, London's Burning to Animal Magic, Steve shows us the stars of the small screen getting it wrong in a programme not for the faint-hearted. ... Steve brings to TV the cheekiest and most embarrassing foul-ups from some of the country's best known celebrities. ... Standby for Barbara Windsor, Mike Reid, Amanda Holden, Gary Myers, Neil Morrissey, Martin Clunes and Eamonn Holmes as they make their naughtiest blunders in full glare of TV cameras. There's nowhere to hide for the guilty celebrities."  The review notes: "It will be all right on the night, or perhaps not. It's time for more outrageous out-takes and unbleeped bloopers in TV's Naughtiest Blunders 2. ... With double entendres from Ainsley Harriot's Can't Cook Won't Cook, Freudian slips from sporting legend Dickie Davies and uncontrollable giggles from Geordie duo Ant and Dec, this is most definitely the show the censors didn't get their hands on."  The review notes: "Tonight Steve takes another big stride in his burgeoning screen career by presenting an hour of outrageous out-takes and unbleeped bloopers in TV's Naughtiest Blunders. The Capital Radio disc jockey, legendary for his own on-air set-ups, sets out to bring us some of the more embarrassing foul-ups from other famous faces and shows. They include a celebrity error on This Morning with Richard and Judy, to a male streak on a mass scale at a big rugby match. It's a one-off special and there's a chunk of never before seen or heard blunders which are definitely not for the faint-hearted viewer. These clips include ones featuring Kiss Me Kate stars Caroline Quentin and Amanda Holden, some chaos on The Generation Game with Jim Davidson, and some four-lettered utterances from some of the nation's famous faces." <li> The article notes: "Carlton Productions’ entertainment department has been commissioned to produce three special editions of its British clip show “TV’s Naughtiest Blunders” for Fox in the U.S. ... In the U.K., the sixth edition of “TV’s Naughtiest Blunders” is now in production for ITV, along with a further special “The Naughtiest of TV’s Naughtiest Blunders.”"</li> <li> The article notes: "Given a slightly later slot than other shows of its ilk, Neil Morrissey introduces a series of clips that claim to be too risque for young eyes. This edition's fall guys include Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney, as well as comedians Ardal O'Hanlon and Rik Mayall, singer Rod Stewart, and bloopers from the casts of Bad Girls and The League of Gentlemen."</li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow TV's Naughtiest Blunders to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Going through the sources I would not say any of these make up significant coverage - these all seem to be routine descriptions of the show describing when it would be airing. Source 4 is seven sentences long. Source 3 and 5 seem to be more about Steve Penk than the show itself. Source 2 is the only one I would describe as potentially being significant. pinktoebeans  (talk) 20:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The sources are not "routine descriptions of the show describing when it would be airing". The sources provide critical analysis of the television show. The fourth source, which provides 204 words of coverage about the show, says, "With double entendres from Ainsley Harriot's Can't Cook Won't Cook, Freudian slips from sporting legend Dickie Davies and uncontrollable giggles from Geordie duo Ant and Dec, this is most definitely the show the censors didn't get their hands on." The second source provides critical analysis and commentary: "The only interesting thing to come out of the programme was that the women were worse than the men. The show looked as if cheeky schoolboys had compiled it. ... The funniest moment for me did not involve swearing, nudity or any kind of naughtiness, just Gary Mavers attempting to open a door and act at the same time."
