A minor edit made to his television credits, Pass the Buck was a BBC programme. Robert Mc Cann

Can someone change Fred's name on the entry? I have corrected it in the entry. It should be spelled "Dineage" Sibadd 21:18, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Sibadd, I've left a note on your talk page - Fred Dinenage's name is spelt Dinenage. See his IMDb entry, for instance (link on your talk page). Cheers ➨ ❝R E DVERS❞ 11:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He was just interviewed on BBC Radio 1 with Fern Cotton, who had apparently gotten some facts about him from this page, which he then corrected. He said his middle name was actually not Algernon but Edgar, and that he went to school in Birmingham, not moving to Portsmouth until he was aged 20 or 21. (Saturday 21st July 2007)

Its pronounced "Dineage" but spelt with a second 'n' - the second 'n' is silent. I heard him being introduced when he was on Southern Television enough times to know how it's pronounced, although, I also thought the additional 'n' was wrong until I saw his name spelt correctly. Ah, the halcyon days of Southern TV - still greatly missed, if only by me. Trying to get home from school by 4:25 in order not to miss the start of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea or Timeslip or The Tomorrow People, then followed by the ITN News and Day by Day with Barry Westwood with Trevor Baker doing the weather. Then, on Fridays after Day by Day, Scene South East with Fred Dinenage or Mike Field or Chris Peacock, and the more local news. I seem to remember a young Sarah Kennedy also newsreading for Southern before she went on to do Game for a Laugh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.68.219 (talk) 20:52, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weird link

I removed this link the other day. The registrant of the domain freddinenage.co.uk is "Golders Design Solutions", and the content when I visited it was simply a frame page linked to a BBC website by transclusion. In short, beyond the use of the name "Fred Dinenage" in the domain name, the website seems to have no demonstrable relevance to Fred Dinenage.

A bit of detective work finds a (possibly unrelated) domain goldersdesign.co.uk registered by a named individual. This is linked under the name "Golders Design Solutions" from a now-defunct geocities site that is preserved in the internet archive.

The link has been restored a couple of times. What's going on? --TS 20:56, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Tony Sidaway that the link should be removed. I don't see how the link adds to the article. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:15, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of "Meridian Tonight"

Someone has, presumably with the best of intentions, replaced all references to Meridian Tonight with ITV News Meridian. Unfortunately this has led to nonsense, such as... "He co-hosted "Coast To Coast" alongside Fern Britton and Mai Davies, and "ITV News Meridian" alongside Natasha Kaplinsky, Debbie Thrower, and Jane Wyatt." While these the were on screen with Feed, the programme was known as "Meridian Tonight" or (for daytime bulletins) "Meridian News". This is, by definition, rewriting history. I have changed it back as appropriate. --Peeky44 _{What's on your mind?} 18:38, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
