Primary sources

[edit]

I removed the "primary sources" template. The BBC source cited was used only for factual information about participants, destinations, production staff and broadcast dates. I could perhaps have cited Radio Times or similar, but I suggest that their information comes from the same original source and introducing the extra distance from the original information serves no real purpose. Fine, if subjective material is added about the quality or critical reception of the show, that would need to be sourced from elsewhere, but I don't think WP:PRIMARY applies here: "Policy: Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reliably published may be used in Wikipedia; but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them.[4] Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the source but without further, specialized knowledge." I contend that there is no "interpretation" in this article as it stands. YMMV. Dave.Dunford (talk) 10:27, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
