The article states: "Rather than call the final series Q10, Milligan opted to call it There's a Lot of it About (a rare example of Milligan feeling a joke had gone too far)." I've read elsewhere (can't find the link now) that the BBC insisted it was called TALOIA instead of Q10, not Spike. Would be helpful if someone could verify this..

I just leafed through his biography and it says "TALOIA, as the BBC had opted to call what was effectively Q10". It doesn't go into much detail, but it looks like your right. I apologise.--Crestville 15:29, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Added link tags around Spike's name, otherwise this page wouldn't link to his. --Attila the Pooh 13:18, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"what are we going to do now"

worth a mention surely as the ultimate get out from a sketch with no punchline. GraemeLeggett 12:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Classic Sketches

The fake game show "Lose your Furniture" where Spike made mad hand gestures to parody Ted Rogers in the then very popular game show "3-2-1", then the contestant kept having their belongings taken away (I seem to rememebr someone going by in a bath tub). The star prize was an eviction notice. --SMKinnear 18:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Spike Milligan - Q series.jpg

Image:Spike Milligan - Q series.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
