Orphaned references in Bill Nighy[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bill Nighy's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "book":

From Pete Postlethwaite: "Pete Postlethwaite's book serialised in the Shropshire Star". Shropshire Star. June 20, 2011. Retrieved 13 December 2013.
From Jim Carrey: Knelman, Martin. Jim Carrey: The Joker Is Wild (2000). U.S.: Firefly Books Ltd. p. 8. ISBN 1-55209-535-5.
From Skylight (play): Hare, David. Script Skylight (books.google.com), Faber & Faber, 2013 (no page numbers)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:24, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday[edit]

In the main dialogue it says he's "12 December 1949" but in the sidebar it says "born 12 January 1949". Most sites say the former so I'm editing and citing my source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thedoctor98 (talk • contribs) 01:28, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Florence + The Machine's Free video[edit]

Bill Nighy stars in Florence + the Machine's "Free" video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui8kUKuLBaU . Wasn't sure how or where to add this. Mentioning it here in case someone else might know how to do so. My apologies if for some reason this was broached before and purposefully not included here. --Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 05:03, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Paris on BBC[edit]

He has played Charles Paris on radio many times. These are fantastically un-sober theatrical whodunnnits written by Simon Brett and are quite marvellous! I have no idea why this has not been included in the Wiki article! Eurgain (talk) 23:23, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
