I've removed the following sentence:

All of Pope's musical parodies are brilliantly observed and devastatingly accurate, and his work deserves much greater recognition.

It not NPOV, I'm afraid - if we can say who thinks his parodies are brilliantly observed and so on, then that's fine, but it's not something we can state as fact. --Camembert

Does anyone know the title of the theme music? - NBK1122 (talk) 09:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Old Haileyburian?

Does anyone have any evidence as to why he is included in the category of Old Haileyburians? Cjc13 (talk) 17:52, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly there is a name confusion here; in case there are two Philip Popes I have removed the categorization. EdH (talk) 17:18, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(The following response is copied here (its rightful place) for completeness. I have nothing to add. Unless somebody has a source to quote, I think this would be original research and therefore beyond the scope of Wikipedia. EdH (talk) 16:19, 24 December 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Many thanks for providing a reply. It is much appreciated. Thank you also for removing the categorisation on the page for P. Pope. It is my intention to add information concerning his education, but I have preferred to refrain from doing so until this discussion has been resolved.

It is my understanding from the information that you have posted that there is another person, also called Philip Pope, who may be called correctly an 'Old Haileyburian'. This is worth recording because it could well be that such a misunderstanding may occur again, particularly if someone should create a Wikipedia page for that other person.

There is also another possibiliy. Following the posting which I made above I went to the web-site of Haileybury College. It informed me that the College has the equivalent of a preparatory school (possiby more than one - it has some connection with a school at another location). I was not previously aware of this. Could it be that Philip Pope ('the musician', the subject of the Wikipedia page with which we are concerned) was a pupil at one of these two schools before going on to his 'secondary' school?

Disagree with 2nd sentence

I would not agree that Philip pope is best known for 1 episode of only fools. Been a fan of his since who dares wins and radioactive and was only vaguely aware of this character. Would say he is best known for his vast musical contribution to the alternative comedy revolution... 80.3.220.104 (talk) 17:49, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
