Hi

Apologies if this had already been asked but does anyone know why TV ARK hasn't been updated recently? Very Happy

Apparently they're rebuilding it again, however I'm sure someone else can confirm this. They have however been updating their Facebook page with new videos quite regularly, even more better as its Facebook the videos work on iOS.

The site is not in the process of being rebuilt. The existing site is maintained using very old software which is no longer fit for purpose - and this, amongst other things, has impacted the frequency of updates.. Work to create a new, more up-to-date technical solution is ongoing. However, any new version of the site is a while off - discussions on that are ongoing and no firm decisions have been taken.

Alas your end up like a dog chasing a tail, since the way things are going upgrades and newer tech will be out before you can blink, I can fully under the frustration in having bite the bullet and hope for the best.

Why does the Chat Shows/W page have a Wogan clip labelled 1983 when the show started in 1985?

Interesting video on the Facebook page of a double end-capped Central programme. Must have been a really late decision to change them at that time?

Because it was broadcast in 1983.

The thrice-weekly version of the show began in February 1985. However, he also had a Saturday night show under the same title, which began in 1982.

I don't dispute the fact that TV Ark currently has more than a few inaccurate TX dates featured on its pages - however, I don't believe this is one of them.

I agree on both counts, there are a few errors but I shall back you up to the hill on that clip, that really 1983.

In case anyone wondering Wogan started off on Tuesdays in 1982, before it was moved.

In that case, the description for the first 1985 clip on the same page is incorrect, as it says "Here's the first edition".
