Template:British TV shows project
Hi, I'm a big fan of the series and have taken the time to flesh out this article a bit. I think there is still more to do though: we need better discriptions of the characters, and episode guide at some point, as well as perhaps puting in some of the critics' views. I'm still not sure whether we are allowed to use the picture I got from the BBC website, would someone be willing to check this out for me? Mathsguy 11:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Australian Screening
Hi, I think the episode screened on the 28th of April is not from series 4 but rather s1e1, and they seem to be showing s1e2 this Saturday Keiths 12:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
New Trick Theme Song
What is the name & artist of the shows theme song?
- According to the credits, it was written by a Mike Moran, surprised you didn't recognise the singer as Dennis Waterman (he sings a lot of his theme tunes, hence the skits on Little Britain). QuagmireDog 04:33, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
In the pilot show (and some in series one)the theme tune used was "the end of the line" by The travelling willburys —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Braveheartbri (talk • contribs) 23:30, August 22, 2007 (UTC).
Roy Mitchell
The link on the page from Roy's name currently leads to a Louisiana Prog Rock band. Probably because a Roy Mitchell was their bassist. However, I doubt this the Roy Mitchell who writes for New Tricks. Particularly as he has fingers missing from his right hand. Could someone change this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.9.37.103 (talk) 17:46:29, August 19, 2007 (UTC)
Scrapped
No new episodes, 'New Tricks' has been canceled due to cost cutting and the move away from continuing series to telenovella Djarra 18:00, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

- http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/category/tv_drama_index.shtml it's listed in the 'restructuring' section along with Lynley. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djarra (talk • contribs) 18:46, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Nothing on the page link given, cant fnd any references elsewhere, so have removed the sentence. Mathsguy 19:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- In fact the only relevant link from that URL above is to this BBC page about New Tricks, which in June 2007 said they were to start filming a fifth series. Telsa (talk) 17:32, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Newtrickscast.jpg
Image:Newtrickscast.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Misplaced Pages article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Life on Mars in reverse
I had an accident and woke up in 2008. Am I mad, in a coma, or forward in time? Whatever's happened it's like I've landed on a different planet. --Tony Sidaway 22:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Emily Standing
The article states that she is Gerry's daughter. My recollection is that Gerry got a DNA test (misusing Police resources!) which showed that she is not, in fact, his daughter although he has not told her this. She continues to believe that Gerry is her father. I cannot point to any citation for this - can anyone confirm? If this is correct, the article needs to be amended accordingly. Prh47bridge (talk) 11:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, you're right. The only cite would be the episode itself. I'll add one shortly. Ged UK (talk) 18:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Correction. No, actually, I think that was a different person; Emily is the youngish girl, the woman Gerry had a DNA test for was much older. Ged UK (talk) 18:25, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Conclusively, she was the subject of the DNA test referred to - it features again in series five. Sitush (talk) 00:33, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Figgis
Is the Figgis name referred to in the article another in-joke, as per the naming of Halford, Lane, Standing? I seem to recall that Figgis was the name of a character played by Bolam in a previous TV series (Only When I Laugh?) Sitush (talk) 00:33, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Possibly (probably even), but unless there's a source, it would be speculation. Ged UK (talk) 11:24, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
