Radio Four edit

This article says "He was the first voice of Radio Four when the channel launched in March 2002". What does this mean? Radio Four has been broadcast since long before March 2002. Vorbee (talk) 10:55, 21 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Does it really? I must have missed that, sorry. Where is that? Martinevans123 (talk) 12:46, 21 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Many apologies - I think I must have confused Radio Four with BBC Four. Vorbee (talk) 17:50, 22 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Today programme edit

This article could point out that Zeb Soanes sometimes reads the news on the BBC Radio 4 "Today" programme. Vorbee (talk) 07:56, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

The article says: "Soanes has been a newsreader for Radio 4's Today, PM and the Six O’Clock News." Does that need to be adjusted in some way? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:46, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

OK I have read the article more carefully and seen in the article, but I was wondering whether he is on the Today programme enough for his appearance on the programme to be mentioned in the first paragraph. Vorbee (talk) 07:56, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'd say it was a significant part of his "Later radio career". I agree that the frequency of his appearances varies. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:06, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

University Challenge edit

The BBC iPlayer edition of Westminster University v University of East Anglia, University Challenge, Christmas 2018 is "not currently available", although there is an annoying clip there of Westminster's Danny Wallace getting "titter". YouTube channel scum has kindly posted a version here (17,450 views), but I guess it's a copyvio. But we know Soanes correctly answered the question on Mr. Toad.
