Talk:John Sparkes

Untitled

The main text states that the show was only broadcast in Wales. This is incorrect (I watched the series in Australia).

You mean the 1996 programme Barry Welsh is Coming? I assume that is meant to refer to the initial broadcast. But it's unusual for the ITV network only to broadcast something in Wales. BBC has it's own Welsh channel (BBC Wales) and does Channel 4 (S4C), but ITV Wales & West is just a franchise area. (From January 2014, the dual-region licence was split in two, with ITV Cymru Wales for Wales and ITV West Country covering the West of England). However, the Barry Welsh is Coming article does not say it was only broadcast in Wales, so I think that needs checking. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:21, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Actor, voice actor and Infobox too

He's not just a comedian, he also acted in several live action films and voiced some characters in animated shows too, instead of edit warring, we should discuss this on the talk page first before agreeing with one another, also, isn't the inbox Important too?

But he's primarily a comedian? So I've adjusted the infobox accordingly. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:29, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, but I really want to add back his years active part back in the article again, but "MarnetteD" won't let me until i find a source, I think. FrozenFan2 (talk) 00:48, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Date of birth

Rotten Tomatoes gives a date here of 6 January 1954, not 9 January. I am unable to find any WP:RS source that gives 9 January. At FreeBMD the only birth for a Sparkes, in Swansea, in the first quarter of 1954, is this one for John A. L., mother's name Lewis. 08:57, 13 August 2021 (UTC)~
