Talk:List of The Mr. Men Show episodes

Inaccuracies, hoaxing and nonsense

This article has been hoaxed to hell and it is very hard to tell what is the "clean" version is because this has been going on for so long. I have reverted to a better version which correctly identifies the two (2) series. Let me list the problems and suggest solutions:

1. We have zero (0) reliable references for the episode list! This is why it is so easy for vandals to hoax it and not be detected. We must find a reliable source for the list or consider deleting the article as unverifiable. IMDB is doing better than we are but it's still not consistent and also not RS. Rotten Tomatoes also has a list but that seems to be similarly imperfect.
2. We don't have any references for the staff. Unless anybody can find this I guess they should be removed?
3. It seems that each episode of the show had two stories in it. I am not sure if this is the case in all markets. Maybe it was segmented differently in different places? If this is standard then the list should group them correctly.
4. We don't have any source for the episode numbers or production codes. The current numbering that jumps between the 100s, 200s, 300s and 400s looks to be entirely spurious and possibly the ghost of one of the many attempts to hoax up a series 3 and 4. I guess the production codes should be removed completely and the episodes just numbered from 1 to 52 (or 26 if they need to be grouped in pairs) for each series?
5. It is not clear that this list was ever entirely complete and correct, without any spurious additions. If it was then I favour reverting to that version, irrespective of how old it is, and using that as a base for improvement.
