Image issues

This article needs only one image. It currently has 3, all of which appear to be copyright violations. So many pictures causes the article to be fractured. Abc30 00:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

"In 2007, Murnaghan appeared on Chucklevision, where he was reading the news for something Barry Chuckle had appeared to upset Paul Chuckle."

The grammar at the end of this sentence doesn't seem to make sense, but I can't correct it as I don't know the plot of the show. Could someone take a look? Jetekus 21:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that an appearance on 'Chucklevision' really merits a mention here anyway. It's a kids' show with little or no real plot other than the 2 main characters making idiots of themselves. SteveRamone 17:29, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the sentence. Aside from the grammar, it didn't merit inclusion in the article.SteveRamone 17:33, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actor?

Does a brief cameo really warrant the 'Actor' label in the infobox?? –MDCollins (talk) 12:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bees?

Does he really have bee keeping as a hobby? Someone can provide a source for this? --Enric Naval (talk) 07:49, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eggheads

He has been replaced on Eggheads by Jeremy Vine recently--Gasmanandy (talk) 17:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that Murnaghan will still present Eggheads but will work with Vine on a rotation basis. See with the relevant Guardian article and this thread. RedCoat10 • talk 18:04, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy

I'm not suggesting this be removed, and I certainly don't want to be accused of being a Sky News troll, but should this be revised to be more impartial? The supporting references don't really support the tone or the assertion that viewers complained about the incident. 82.9.239.174 (talk) 20:05, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
