After I worked my I think this is ready for being critiqued.

Another great bio, Opti - well done!

I'll enjoy the irony when the BBC publish this

Hi Opti

Sounds like 4 people --> otherwise known as Ant and Dec, or alternatively PJ and Duncan

You can't have the eldest of two - it should be elder

<>
These two sentences are actually one long one. To leave it as one, you need to change the full stop after 'Channel 4' to a comma, and add a couple more commas in appropriate places after that. I feel however that it would read better if re-worded to make two good sentences.

number 4 --> number four

Children's Entertainers section - you have two consecutive sentences beginning with:

only time will tell --> Only time will tell

I'd mention the fact that on TV they're only ever seen standing one way round - 'Ant and Dec' left to right as the camera looks at them.

When they entered one of those reality pop shows in disguise to fool Simon Cowell, much was made of them swapping places in order to show who they really were.

I know too much trite information

for those comments I have continued to work my magic on this entry and have made the changes you have all suggested.

JulesK I've put the bit in about Simon Cowell but in the Saturday Night bit instead of where you suggested. Hope that's

Don't know if it's worth a mention, but the (unauthorised) Ant and Dec puppets reportedly scuppered a proposed revival of Spitting Image.

can there be a spotters guided added. They've been on TV for what seems like centuries and I still don't know which one is ant and which is dec.

So a few notes about which one is which would be helpful.



also, are they ever seen apart?

Ant is the tall one. But that wouldn't help if one walks into an Essex pub without the other, would it Jon?

Opti all you have to say in the Entry is that Ant is taller than Dec.

I don't think I shall use the unauthorised bit simply because its unauthorised.

made the correction in regards to height. GB.

any more comments? I'm all ears...well I'm made of other body bits too.

I can't stand the little runts - I've never been able to forgive them for the Likely Lads abomination - but this is a very good Entry. Far better than the cheeky Geordie chappies, anyway
