Liza Tarbuck version
The article implies that the (UK) Liza Tarbuck version was for adults. I'm fairly sure that it was only the Michael Aspel version that was for adults. In both versions the contestants had to be students, but the Aspel version allowed adult students, the Tarbuck version was restricted to sixth formers.
Can anyone confirm and, if agreed, update? 74.220.207.95 20:52, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes that is correct! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.205.118.65 (talk) 00:03, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
International info
This article relates to the UK show. Wouldn't it be most appropriate to put the international info in the US article, as the format originated there? Davidbod 22:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Important notice on Blockbusters repeatings on Challenge.
Please watch the series again. I have checked and it's the same 72 episodes from Series 10 that Challenge are showing. Basicallyleveled 19:55, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Transmissions : Original Series
Series 7: Did in fact start in January 1990 on all ITV station due to lack of space. A number of companies such as Central, TSW and Anglia, did broadcast repeats from Sept 89 To Dec 89. Here is a clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSDvWI38uCM TSW were getting the feed from Central.
Series 10: To Date, its always been said that ITV made 10 series of blockbusters with the last series having 180ep. Challenge NEVER admitted there only acquired one series: There only said 72 episodes, from the last series. But no links have appeared to say otherwise. Crazyseiko 15:15, 7 June 2012
= Was it 14 series afterall
This clip has turned up from the Sky one 1994 series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LT8uooN3Cs
It has XI which means 11. Does this mean ITN source has spilt up series 2 to create two series instead of one? or did central change their mind with the 1985 - 86 series and thought na, the last series was just one.

Rage Music
I removed the link to Rage Music's website because I was under the impression that promotional links (where the subject doesn't have/ merit their own Wikipedia article) weren't allowed. User:Crazyseiko reverted the change in good faith, but didn't elaborate on why they thought a promo link was acceptable, instead defining what a promo link is.
I was going by these two reasons:
- WP:ELNO– specifically, "Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article" and "Individual web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services"
- Paul Boross' MB Music Productions website isn't included next to his music credit.
I'm very happy to be corrected, though. 86.186.108.184 (talk) 00:26, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

This is getting bad now, it become a never ending change between users and there clearly has been a lack of any communication to highlight what the actually problems are, can we have a proper discussion about this. The big problem is S10 ref keeps on being taken out yet NONE of the other refs which are from the same source have been changed. How can this be resolved? --Crazyseiko (talk) 14:55, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
@RobinCarmody, 86.176.69.47, and 86.171.159.79: Message text. Can users please talk about this before making further changes?
