Don't add any 'Monty Python' footnotes.

No, I can honestly say I've not added any Monty Python

So I see.
My comments:
'Tennyson' links to 'Roman Catholicism'. Can you fix that?
Footnote 3 seems rather fatuous, considering that the point of the entry is that the radio play was making fun of just such informational oversharing.
I don't mean we can't use the footnote. But how about starting it, 'The radio play failed to mention further interesting facts, such as that...' and then the rest of the information dump? Makes it more in the spirit of the entry.
I like Footnote 6 - good catch!

Would you like to read through and let me know if there are any other changes to make, or if it can go on its way?

The BBC's been digitising their Radio Times back catalogue and this is the issue from that week:

By the way, another cool thing was the BBC's notice before you read their programme that it was likely to be offensive.
