Audio streaming[edit]

I miss the bbc radio broadcast of "MY WORD" are there any sites which still audio stream the program? Are there any radio re-plays in the U.S. (via NPR)? Were can I download or buy editions? reverend_logan@yahoo.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.144.173.209 (talk) 01:45, 8 November 2004 (UTC)[reply]

"My Word" and other old BBC Radio shows are sometimes broadcast on the digital channd el BBC7 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/) and can be heard online. AndrewWTaylor 12:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is broadcast Sunday evenings on NPR; I tune it in on KANU-FM at 9 pm central (GMT -6). An online stream of that show can be accessed at kpr.kanu.edu. --Subwoofer 02:34, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Search 'my word' on Google and you will find a list of stations providing streaming audio of our favorite radio program.66.245.26.219 04:36, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:My-Word-book.jpg[edit]

Image:My-Word-book.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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

notable ending lines[edit]

The section "Some notable ending lines" seems to have become a random accumulation of editors' favourite lines, most of which don't make any assertion of notability. I think the section needs a good pruning, an upper limit on the number of examples, and some established guidelines on what counts as a "notable ending line" anyway. --Paul A (talk) 01:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since there are no objections (I think two months is long enough to wait, don't you?), I shall proceed. --Paul A (talk) 14:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Books[edit]

The article needs to include the books of feghoots. There were five slim volumes published, authored by Frank Muir & Denis Norden, followed by an omnibus edition of all five volumes. All books were published by Methuen. The first volume, published in 1973, was titled "You Can't Have Your Kayak and Heat It", and the omnibus edition was titled "The Utterly Ultimate 'My Word!' Collection". 74.205.216.190 (talk) 17:42, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The first four volumes were published by Eyre Methuen Ltd, and the fifth by Methuen London. The Collection was published by Mandarin Paperbacks. 74.205.219.217 (talk) 04:37, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
