Title

10:21, 29 April 2007 Brandybordeaux (Talk | contribs) m (moved Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies to The Fallen Madonna over redirect: this is the official of the painting's title. So it makes more sense to have it on that page)

Re the above, it doesn't necessariy make sense because it's not a real painting. It is always refered to as the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies. Bit of pruduery here? IXIA 21:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the pilot/introduction it was referred to as the RECLINING Madonna with the Big Boobies 145.53.112.226 08:06, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to Wikipedia's naming convention the name most commonly used and that which most people will associate with the subject should be preferred. I therefore think this article should be moved back to its original title. __meco (talk) 16:30, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Madonna

Curoius is the Madonna in the painting a reference to the singer or is it to the Catholic name? Because the pilot was in 1982 when Madonna released Everybody but not her debut, and later the first series is the like a Virgin era any thoughts —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.226.79 (talk) 13:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as to how the show was set in World War II, I doubt it was a reference to the singer...MaGnUs was here! (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:47, 12 March 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Van Klomp or Van Clomp?

For many years, I have always assumed that Van Klomp was spelt with a K. In this article, and on many websites, it is spelt that way. Looking at the photo of the actual painting presented to Lord Bath, I see that it's spelt with a C.

Did the BBC goof when it had the painting commissioned or should it always have been spelt that way?

Seeing as Van Klomp/Clomp is a fictional artist anyway, is there any way to know which should be the correct spelling?Ozzieboy (talk) 20:47, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also naturally assumed the spelling with a K. The playwrights would however be the final authority on how to spell the name of their own invention. __meco (talk) 16:16, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Minor change in first section

Dear friends,

With respect, I have changed a small section in the first paragraph to read as a running gag rather than a plot device after reading the definitions of both the words. I know it may seem like a trivial change but it actually reflects the role of the painting in the series. I trust this is acceptable to all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.49.88.214 (talk) 20:38, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Surely it was a running gag (particularly the name), and a plot device (the item - usually giving Rene a reason to have to be hiding things, running away from someone, or trying to avoid someone going into the wrong place, or having to replace one supposed fake copy with the real one or vice versa. --81.149.74.231 (talk) 13:56, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

leclerc didn't forge the painting

in one episode he claimed to be only able to forge the signature i'm not entirely sure he then forged it anyway, so if anyone can confirm please edit — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edwardlego (talk • contribs) 20:41, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
