... that Start the Week panellist Kenneth Robinson once disgusted Pamela Stephenson enough for her to throw her water at him?
- ALT1:... that Kenneth Robinson, the second of three Robinsons to present Points of View between Robert Robinson and Anne Robinson, was fired from that programme for the frivolous way he described bananas?
- ALT2:... that Kenneth Robinson was suspended from BBC Radio 4's Start the Week for six weeks for suggesting that a disabled person's dating agency would mean "you could hear the wheelchairs banging all night in some parts of the country"?
- ALT3:... that Kenneth Robinson was fired from the Croydon Advertiser for saying that And Then There Were None was "a play in which members of the cast are strangled and poisoned one by one - it is a pity more plays of this kind are not available to the amateur"?

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts for the various hooks are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. I am also suggesting ALT0a as being more accurate and exciting than ALT0. So we are just waiting for the QPQ to be done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:39, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- ALT0a:... that Start the Week presenter Kenneth Robinson once disgusted Pamela Stephenson so much that she poured a jug of water down his neck?

Thank you. This is good to go with any of the hooks. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:58, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bananas

Is there any information about what he actually said about bananas? It's the DYK hook, but there's no actual depth to it in the article (or the ref supporting it). pauli133 (talk) 00:22, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
