Talk:Richard Osman

Egypt Airplane Crash

Just an FYI for anyone looking this up. The Richard Osman reported as a person on the May 2016 Egypt Airlines crash is NOT this Richard Osman. 2601:646:C402:A9C0:C84D:3644:B208:EA81 (talk) 19:16, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Came here specifically to check that! Fig (talk) 14:24, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Twitter

Note that Alexander Armstrong (on his twitter feed) claims that the twitter feed quoted here is not really Richard Osman. Someone might want to investigate whether he's joking or not...? [1] --Strange but untrue (talk) 14:44, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

It really is him. I know him personally. He was able to answer a question about Deal or No Deal only he would know. 93.97.113.174 (talk) 16:03, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

The September 2010 comment concerns a link to a fake Richard Osman Twitter that was on the page at that time, not the current link to the real, actual one. Syxx (talk) 03:45, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Persistent vandalism

There's a vandalism issue happening right now, because Osman is encouraging it on his Twitter feed. I'd imagine it'll die down eventually, but, is it possible for someone to protect the article, please? --Cheese453 (talk) 16:50, 16 May 2013 (BST)

Or you could just wait half an hour and it'll stop? 86.182.184.120 (talk) 16:45, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Missing detail

In the section "Personal life", we are told that Richard Osman "has two children from a previous relationship" - previous to what? The previous text refers to Fulham Football Club. Chuckery Towers (talk) 16:48, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

He is divorced. No idea why that has been left out. Somebody seems to think that his football season ticket is more important than 15 years of marriage. Rustygecko (talk) 08:57, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Turn It Up

Re: the youth show Turn It Up on BBC Radio Sussex. In addition to Jane Hill and Jo Whiley - other notable contributors were BBC TV newsreader Clive Myrie, Radio One DJ / magazine editor / recording artist Chris Mellor (aka Chris Coco) and Radio 4 feature maker Mark Coles. Several other notables were also involved but that'll do for now. I keep meaning to make a wiki entry for Turn It Up, maybe one day. (I was a presenter/producer for 9 years).

Radio career

This article mentions Osman's television career, but it could have a sub-heading about his work on radio. Vorbee (talk) 17:42, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

re Jane Hill

Jane Hill was never let anywhere the microphone on Turn It Up. She was what we called a 'nurdler'.... answering the telephones for the quiz and general running about duties. I've still got the running orders and staff lists to prove it.

Jo Wiley was a goth who was a Fields Of Nephilim, Gene Loves Jezebel and Sisters of Mercy fan. She wrote a good script and could read it well... her musical taste was suspect however. One night I happened on R2 and she was playing The New Seekers. I'm not sure how much you would have to pay me to play a New Seekers record, but it would be a lot. 146.90.27.126 (talk) 17:58, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Picture

Why is there no picture of him? 132.185.160.121 (talk) 11:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

• Because of copyright issues. Photographs on Wikipedia either need to have a free licence (see c:Commons:Licensing) or be a non-free image with a fair-use justification, see Wikipedia:Non-free content. Fair-use justifications are rarely if ever accepted for living people. Images derived from British TV shows will not have a valid free license. One solution would be to attend a public event where he is appearing and take a photograph. Verbcatcher (talk) 03:46, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Ottoman Empire

Osman is the name of the family who found the Ottoman Empire. I wonder how he got this name? who really his father is?

Well almost. There is more information at Osman. 17:56, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

The Last Devil to Die

This page's description of The Last Devil to Die states it is the last book in the Thursday Murder Club series. However, the linked page does not say it is the last book, only the fourth, and I don't see a source indicating it is to be the last book. (Additionally, I saw a video talk with Osman before the release of The Bullet That Missed which indicated his plans to continue writing about the club, although with a possible break after book 4.) Is there something I am missing? DNOMN8R3.14 (talk) 12:39, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
