[edit] Episode 4 synopsis

What was wrong with it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.221.133.226 (talk) 22 May, 2007

I don't think there was anything wrong with it, it's just that a synopsis for episode five was added first, leaving a gap for episode four (which has since been filled). -88.109.16.29 22:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] International broadcast

Can anyone get hold of any sources about the series premiering on the European Hallmark channel at the start of April? I don't want to have to cite an ephemeral webpage but even if it's just a listings magazine, it will do.WindsorFan 22:39, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA passed

For a shows that's only had one series, this page is brilliant. No problems that I can see, very well sourced and written in my book. Covers all of the aspects, and all of the image has fair use rationales. Keep it up! Gran2 18:37, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Filming Locations

As others have said, this is a great page for a first series of a TV programme. The only gap in information that jumps out at me is some lack of detail of the locations used. Some not currently recorded in the article were mentioned in the ITV2 "Making of" programme. (As this is my first post to anywhere on Wikipedia I'm reluctant to attempt an edit of the main myself, especially one that would require a complete new section on the page rather than a few minor edits to existing text.)

A full-blown list of filming locations would be unencyclopedic per #4 of WP:NOT#INFO. The locations listed now are intended to be a summary of the main places shooting took place; Swaffham is listed for obvious reasons, Wells for the beach, etc. There's a more detailed list (building names, street names) at [IMDB], which is linked at the end of the article. Any new major locations used in the second series will probably be added as more detail is released Brad 11:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoiler Warning

Hello.

Wouldn't it be possible to add a spoiler warning before the episode summaries? I think indeed that they reveal a lot about the plot, especially for the last episode.

Thank you. Amhantar 05:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Broadcast history

Hello again,

This part of the article says that a second season is "due to be filmed in mid-2007" when in the beginning of the article one can read "a second series was filmed from July to September 2007 for broadcast in 2008". I have therefore made the necessary changes and hope that everyone here will agree with it.

Thank you. Amhantar 05:12, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I just recently noticed it being listed as showing on my local PBS affiliate (KLRU, Austin, Texas.) If someone knows the US distribution deal could you insert that information here, please? If not, I hope to discover the information soon and add return to add it myself. Thanks. Derekbd 22:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Presumably the distribution is handled by Portman TV, who bought the international rights at the start of this year. However, if you could find any US reviews for the show for the reception section then that would be great. Brad 22:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of article in press source

I can't remember how we're supposed to log these but the Watton and Swaffham Times has reprinted a large tract of text from this article without attribution. I don't know if this appeared in a print version of the paper or just online.

[edit] Factual information keeps getting removed.

I've added info on filming locations for series one several times now, and it keeps getting removed by someone. I'm adding a note to say that among the already listed filming locations, Castle Acre was used in episode 5 of series one. Can anyone explain why this keeps getting deleted? Castle Acre really WAS used as a filming location in series one, episode 5. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SamKnox (talk • contribs) 14:04, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal for filming locations

I'll just run this by quickly as I'm supposed to be taking a wikibreak: We need to achieve a balance with regards to listing the filming locations. At the moment, we're getting "I recognise that location! I'd better put it on Wikipedia!" (entirely in good faith) and are running the risk of creating an impossible-to-manage list of minor locations that appear for only five minutes in an episode. So I propose that major locations that the show uses (Swaffham, Wells, etc) be discussed in the "Filming" section of this article, and minor locations that appear for just one episode be placed as bulleted lists in the episode table of List of Kingdom episodes. Taking the episode from the other day as an example, we could have:

Filming locations for this episode include:

  • An empty ward at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital
  • Happisburgh lighthouse

A note can then be placed at the top of the filming section that says something like "For further information on filming locations, see List of Kingdom episodes". Brad (talk) 14:18, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I totallly agree that all major filming locations should be in the "Filming" section. Locations that appear in only one episode are trivial in my eyes and shouldn't appear at all. I don't see the need or relevance to mention, as the example, that an empty ward and Happisburgh lighthouse were used. Any notable one-off filming locations could be put in filming section, but we don't need to list them all.--UpDown (talk) 14:42, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
It's either a compromise until the series is over and the page quietens down or excessive reverting. Brad (talk) 14:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Update

This article needs updating as does the episode list.Fairfieldfencer (talk) 16:56, 21 February 2008 (UTC)Fairfieldfencer

[edit] GA Sweeps

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. The only issue I noticed concerns the lead, which would benefit from more detail (and a copyedit to remove some serial commas). However, it (just about!) provides an adequate article summary, so I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Regards, EyeSereneTALK 13:17, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
