[edit] Peer review
- Wikipedia:Peer review/Pauline Fowler/archive2 - This article about an EastEnders character is heading for FA status. If successful, it will be the first soap opera character article to reach FA, and will therefore be an example that other such articles will follow. All opinions are welcomed, thanks. --Elonka 18:34, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Peer review/Red Dwarf - The Red Dwarf article has just been requested for a Peer Review. The article has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if editor/contributors from the Wikiproject British TV shows could head over and give some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. Thanks. --Nreive (talk) 10:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Structure
All non-stub articles should include the Template:Infobox British television (note that all fields are optional). Current TV shows should have final air-date set to 'present'.
Stub articles should use the template {{UK-tv-prog-stub}}.
The first occurrence of the title of the show should be emboldened and italicised, and later occurrences should be italicised. Likewise, all references to other shows should be italicised and the first occurrence linked.

Categories that could be used include:
- category:BBC television programmes
- category:British television comedy
