Rupert Penry-Jones[edit]

In this article, Dervla Kirwan is stated as being engaged to Rupert Penry-Jones. However, in that article it says that he is living with Emily Brooke. Are both these statements correct? Paddyman1989 12:41, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reader, she married him. [1] Cucamber 14:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Misspellings[edit]

Other names: Dervla Kirwin nonsense deleted. Kirwin, Kerwin, etc. are just misspellings of Kirwan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.147.141.210 (talk) 00:36, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bloatspeak[edit]

Is "alongside" now considered a normal Wikipedia synonym for "with", but preferred simply because it's longer and it's used incorrectly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.19.205.128 (talk) 03:48, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

2020 edits and updates[edit]

I happened upon this article last week (?) or so when looking up the TV show Whitechapel starring Rupert Penry-Jones.

I broke down the Career section into smaller sections and added Awards. I also have been editing the citations themselves - that's a pet peeve with me.

I haven't added anything new (yet) but this article needs a lot of work in terms of citations. I noticed that Theater Records was in the References - does this take the place of in-line citations? I'm not sure. I removed that bullet point for now.

This is the first article that I worked on that doesn't involve someone I'm familiar with, so it'll be interesting, I guess! - Rapunzel • )}i{( 15:39, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect link[edit]

In this context, the link to Agatha Christie's Miss Marple should be to the TV series, not the character. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.134.117.168 (talk) 12:17, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A Time to Dance[edit]

I think Dervla actually came to prominence playing Bernadette Kennedy in Melvyn Bragg's 1992 TV adaptation of his novel 'A Time to Dance' but I've read she prefers not to discuss this role due to its controversially explicit nature when she was only 19/20 years old. In my opinion, she played the part superbly, alongside a talented cast, and the three part film and novel have been amongst my all time favourites. I have a letter from Lord Bragg which discusses the novel & TV adaptation. 80.209.132.52 (talk) 13:44, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
