Help/Question

I read the German version of this article a while ago, and it said that there was a German adaptation of the scripts written by Harry Rowohlt and Sven Böttcher that were released on CD. I went to the German Amazon and it's true, there are.

Should this be incorporated into the article, perhaps retitling the "BBC Radio adaptation" section to "Modern radio adaptations" and adding a few lines? The trouble is I can't find any other sources other than the Amazon link (and that I actually bought one but I can't read the sleeve!). Or is it not notable enough for inclusion?

Did you try searching German Google for sources? Yworo (talk) 01:06, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, I only remember a handful of words from the German class I took when I was 14. A long time ago. Matthewedwards : Chat 02:23, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice article

Congradulations on getting FA status. I added some info regarding National Public Radio's October 1988 airing of show from the published scripts. I also put in a link in the Frank Nelson (actor) article to Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 10:16, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Professor Biegel of Yale Law School

This search shows a 1938 reference indicating that complaints were received from a Professor Biegel of Yale Law School. The article cites a 2000 reference and says it was a New York attorney named Morris Beagle. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 10:45, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Later films

I made a change to the intro that was reverted. I forgot that this has been a featured article, so I apologize for making such a change without first discussing it.

It is not mentioned that some of the dialog and/or plot occurs in films made after the show aired. In such cases, the film borrowed from the show rather than the other way around, or there was an earlier common source.

I meant only to point out that part of the show is reflected in later films and not just earlier. Richard K. Carson (talk) 06:28, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
