 | Pridesale Member since Mar 2013 793 Points | 'First Broadcast On' would be nice Some series are typical BBC (BBC1) or ITV (ITV1) , (note some ITV /IBA regions trailed first or only showed some series too ) Of course some did move- Morecambe and Wise ( " He's gone over to the Other Side " "Does Lord Grade Know?" ) Just so one could see a list of all BBC2 programmes etc for a given year |

| Pridesale Member since Mar 2013 793 Points | The other Morecombe and Wise comment, after their return from Thames to BBC, " I'm going to Granada for the summer ", " Have you told the producer?" |

| Dr Doom SUBS I wanna eat an artichoke once in a while Member since Feb 2008 25148 Points Administrator | I'm still not sure that it needs a database field. Surely all BBC1 shows could be tagged BBC1 etc. The fewer database fields we have the simpler the sites are and the easier/quicker it is to add things. I'm not saying that the original channel isn't useful information just that it may not need a datafield. Notes and Tags may do the trick. |

| RadoxTheGreen Wait, I have to scan what now? Member since Jan 2013 772 Points Moderator | I was asked about the possibility of adding a Creator field for TV series. I know it could be added in the notes but it would make sense to have it as a field. If it were made searchable someone could easily find everything created by Gene Roddenberry, Carla Lane, Bob Block, etc. |

Most shows don't really have one creator. Much better to create TAGS for Gene Roddenberry, Carla Lane, Bob Block, etc. |

| RadoxTheGreen Wait, I have to scan what now? Member since Jan 2013 772 Points Moderator | Tags need to be more search friendly, a link from the search by genre page or similar. Or from the landing home page for each world. They are stuffed away in the explore section and really aren't prominent enough. |

Absolutely. Once they are used more we'll make them more searchable.  |

| 23skidoo Member since Jul 2014 4061 Points | Just my 2 cents regarding "First Broadcast on" as a field. Problem with such a field is there are many shows for which this information varies from country to country and you might well run into a scenario where someone enters a date based on their country but the actual official debut date might have been different. Wikipedia and IMDb run into this problem all the time, to the point where as I've entered series I've had to be very careful with dates and have on numerous occasions gone to offline sources (we used to call them books!) for the years. And when it comes to shows broadcast in the UK it gets insane, especially with the ITV affiliates: I have a book listing all the TV shows Gerry Anderson produced and there's several different debut dates given for UFO, for example, because different ITV networks launched it at a different times - even different YEARS in some cases. While I'm not going to outright oppose the idea, I think it may be more trouble than it's worth. Year of first broadcast is tricky enough at times. In response to the rejection of the idea (which I think came from my suggestion) regarding a Creator field be added, I think it can be easily handled the same way we handle cast lists: leave space for entering at least 2 names and then give the option to add more under the "Add Missing Info" tab. Realistically the vast majority of TV series will have no more than 2 names listed as creator anyway. The one challenge, which I acknowledge, is there are many series for whom identifying the creator is actually a bit controversial as there is no on-screen recognition. For example, Doctor Who is often credited to Sydney Newman but there are about 4-5 other people who also are credited; The Prisoner is one where there's been a lot of debate over who created it, Patrick McGoohan or George Markstein; and who created the 2007 version of The Bionic Woman? Officially not Kenneth Johnson, the creator of the original 1976 series as he never got a credit for it. It would probably be necessary to restrict a "Created by" tag to on-screen credit only. (Roddenberry could still be credited for Star Trek even though he doesn't get an on-screen credit on TOS because he gets a retroactive credit for TOS on TNG and the other Trek series.)

| Pridesale Member since Mar 2013 793 Points | Thats a difference between created by and 'inspired by' or 'from an idea of / based on an idea of (that was for 15-1 quiz for example where the development was by the producer, but the show was pitched , in a slightly different format , by another person ) |
