It'll be Alright on the Night—Was it really spelled "Alright"?

Seems crazy to me (and I'm an American, fer cryin' out loud).

Nonetheless, the "correct" spelling (all right) is unknown on Wikipedia. So I guess -- never having seen the show -- that it is/was "alright".

And dats ok wit me, boss.

I think, you might say unusually, that the less proper "alright" is more acceptable in Britain than the US. Beanhead McGinty 13:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it was indeed spelled "Alright" in the title of the show. Flapdragon 16:01, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] His daughter

His daughter "Maggie" is both his son and his daughter? What? This article really needs sorting out. NaiveAmoeba 21:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Norden-spotting

Due to his very visible prescence on the streets of the West End of London and continued sightings of him by office workers thereabouts there has sprung up a game called Norden in which office workers relate which celebrities they have seen recently and points are awarded for them.

Really? He's 85, does he really get out all that much? (Not sure about "thereabouts there" either.) Anyway unless there's some proper source for this not very encyclopaedic comment it should probably go. Flapdragon 16:05, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
