The section on the oxford imps appearance on the TV show 'Eggheads' is misleading. It imply's that they were broadcast as the Oxford Imps, where as in fact the troupe entered the show as themselves, members of the general public, and called their team 'The Oxford Imps' due to the fact they were all members of the same university society. This is therefore not an notable achievement. I propose that this section be deleted. [[User:Theotheothelonious|Theotheothelonious]] 20 August 2012

As Deborah Frances-White and I directed an Oxford University based improvisation company between 1998 and 2000, I'm fairly sure the Oxford Imps, founded 2003, were not the first. ;-)Cheers. Tomsalinsky 23:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TV Appearance Misleading

The section on the oxford imps appearance on the TV show 'Eggheads' is misleading. It imply's that they were broadcast as the Oxford Imps, where as in fact the troupe entered the show as themselves, members of the general public, and called their team 'The Oxford Imps' due to the fact they were all members of the same university society. This is therefore not an notable achievement. I propose that this section be deleted. Theotheothelonious 20 August 2012

I disagree that the Oxford Imps appearance is misleading. The Eggheads page even lists them as a team and gives no hint that they entered as members of the general public. There is no proof of that but the Eggheads page does properly list the group as having appeared on their show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggheads_(TV_series)#Teams_who_have_defeated_the_Eggheads --Mtstaffa (talk) 13:23, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
