Season 2 Episode 1[edit]

Why was this deleted, The data was correct. Deleting it just means someone else will have to re-write it.It hasn't been broadcast, but you can watch it on BBC's website.

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for creating that information box. The picture makes the page look a lot better. Wolf of Fenric 00:18, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

David Walliams Appearance[edit]

I may be wrong but I don't remember seeing Walliams in Episode 3. Could you enlighten me?

Sorry, that was a typo from when I copy-and-pasted the cast list from Episode 2 last week. I've corrected it :-) Seb Patrick 22:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Audience Awareness[edit]

The article mentions that the audience weren't aware of the fictitious nature of the game show elements. This is incorrect as before filming began, Rob explained the whole "Show in a show" concept.

Well spotted, that was badly worded. I've changed it to reflect the fact that the audience (unless they'd figured it out for themselves) weren't clued in to how the show was supposed to be deliberately rubbish (I was there for the Jo Brand and Trisha Goddard ones).

Ken Bruce[edit]

I am not sure how to add this as a reference within the main article, so could someone do it for me, please? Rob Brydon was interviewed on Radio 2 by Steve Wright on Friday 27th April 2007, when he explained about Ken Bruce appearing on the show. He also added that even though in reality he only does a morning show, regardless of what time of day it is, Ken's voice would be heard in the background.

Missing episodes[edit]

Why are episodes 4 onwards of series 2 not listed. EDIT - I added the start date and template for each of the missing episodes, but someone else will need to fill in the names as I have not got time.

No more series?[edit]

Dave Gorman's article which I read yesterday claimed that he 'was' a panelist on annually retentive. Is that trying to suggest that there will be no more annually retentive? Has it been confirmed as the last series or not?

Why didn’t they make the panel show for real[edit]

Why didn’t they make the panel show for real like Echo Beach & Moving Wallpaper? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.119.112 (talk) 20:42, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Theme music on DVD[edit]

There's a comment on the page that says that Steely Dan's "Reelin' in the Years" isn't used on the DVD release. It's certainly present on the series 1 release I have, both on the shows and behind menus etc, but I don't want to remove the line altogether if it's the case that there is a release where it's missing, or perhaps that it's missing on series 2 (which I don't have on DVD) but not series 1.
