This Morning[edit]

Foreman was on This Morning today, it was an excellent interview with details on casting and characterisation. I took notes but if anyone can find the interview, feel free to update, as I don't think I caught everything. –anemone projectors– 15:45, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

'This new Derek has the face of a dyspeptic pug and the charm of an abandoned Threshers. Within seconds of his arrival the bastard was crashing through the Square like a herniated tank, spraying wide-boy aphorisms everywhere, insulting Pat's earrings, calling Michael Moon's handshake "a bit mincey" and banging on about his time "inside" and ow fings ain't wot they used to be wot wiv the lack of "respect" and the current proliferation of "Liffooanians".'

Could be tea lady[edit]

I'm confused, what did this edit do? What did tea lady mean too? - [2]Rain the 1 23:19, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, tea lady is short-hand for an edit summary I left Mario when we worked together on Poppy - just meaning that quotes from unnamed "insiders" are best avoided, as they could be from anyone, right down to the canteen tea lady. Frickative 23:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Mario does have a habit of copying :| GSorby – Ping 23:39, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I get what you mean. I was trying to find a reference to a tea lady in the text. lolRain the 1 23:44, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GSorby's comment aside; when Frickative said that, I just knew it was a great quote to use. :P Mayhem Mario 16:21, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chrissie[edit]

How do we know he is lying about Chrissie? 74.97.32.27 (talk) 22:28, 21 February 2012

This spoiler at Digital Spy reads: "Later, Jack shares his fears with Max and the conversation moves on to how he doesn't want his relationship with Amy to be like Derek and Chrissy's. However, Max drops the bombshell that Derek doesn't have a daughter named Chrissy!" GSorby – Ping 22:55, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am wondering if we should list Chrissy at all in the 2012 list as it's probably not even her name. –anemone projectors– 15:24, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"transition"[edit]

The word is only mentioned in the reception section, so context needs to be added. I can assume what it means, but I could be assuming wrong. –anemone projectors– 13:59, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have only just seen this and what is the point. In the rejuvenation section it mentions that naughty Derek will develop a soft side - that is a transition. You could have just added the context instead of nitpicking.Rain the 1 21:05, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It does, but it should be clear that it also refers to a section above. I may not have had time to add the context before, but I just tried it now and I can't figure out the right wording so some help would be appreciated. –anemone projectors– 13:21, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
