Honorary doctorate

[edit]

Someone has updated his title to "Dr" and added a comment about his being awarded an honorary doctorate on 9 Nov 2007. The latter may well be true, but in common ussge it does not give rise to the former and I feel that in this instance it grates. Recipients of honorary doctorates rarely use the title, nor indeed do many people who have actually been awarded a doctorate for academic work unless actually pursuing a career in academia/research/the medical professions. Thoughts? Sitush 10:01, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree - I will delete it.--ukexpat (talk) 19:06, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Parallel career?

[edit]

This article states that he developed a "parallel career" as a dramatic actor. Parallel to what? Sitush 10:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No-one has responded to this yet. I'll give it a few more weeks and then, if no response, adjust the text in some way that removes the "parallel" reference. Sitush (talk) 00:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish?

[edit]

Is he Jewish, as suggested elsewhere? --MartinUK 21:32, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can find no evidence for or against, nor am I sure why it would be anything other than trivia Sitush (talk) 00:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Born Free

[edit]

Born Free Foundation reference - I'm becoming slightly irritated by the numerous references to the BFF which have been inserted of late into entries for various UK TV personalities. Often the entries are somewhat more verbose than in this example but the origin seems to remain the same and the timing is also suspect. I have nothing against what the BFF do but it does smack of advertising/self-promotion on the part of BFF as I know for sure that some of the persons referred to do much charitable work in other areas. It also bothers me that much of what is claimed across the articles re: BFF is unreferenced. Thoughts? Is there a template available for known "charitable" works where all this stuff can be dumped as a list, with links, without the need for sometimes verbose statements of position etc. The BFF, for example, has its own entry & so anything more than the most basic statement is duplication Sitush (talk) 00:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Demob

[edit]

I'm a great fan of Mr. Clunes and loved him in Doc Martin. I recently started watching Demob http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demob_(TV_series). There is no mention of his part in this TV show which is quite good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.154.136.252 (talk) 14:30, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

charity belongs in one place

[edit]

It's in two now - if someone knows how to move it neatly, go ahead, or I'll have to, and I don't think it will be pretty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.183.91.191 (talk) 04:57, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Acid House

[edit]

Posting this in talk because this is my first effort at contributing something and I don't want to take the chance of screwing something up in the main article... I just watched "The Acid House" on Netflix and recognized Marin Clunes playing the part of "Rory". There is an article about the movie here on Wikipedia which lists his part. ( I found the article in the process of verifying that it was indeed Martin Clunes I saw ) Netflix lists it as released in 1999 but other references, including the Wikipedia article say 1998. In any case, perhaps someone more familiar and comfortable with doing so could add this as an entry in Mr. Clunes' filmography. It's a bizarre film which he perhaps may not even want credit for, but... As an interesting aside, the film also stars Kevin McKidd (Grey's Anatomy), who I never realized was Scottish until seeing this rather strange film.
