In case anyone is interested, the second series is being repeated, starting tonight (21st Feb) at 6.30pm on Radio 4. StephenBuxton 07:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
IMDB and every single article I've seen on him say he was born on August 14, not March 2. So why does this page still say March 2? Bangdrum 03:57, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Armstrong disagrees. See Time Out. WorkingFromWithin ( talk) 12:45, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Armstrong has disagreed again, on his Twitter feed ( http://twitter.com/Xanneroo/status/3358087862). It's been marked as citation needed, but I'd say it should be removed if it's contradicted by the person himself. Bailey ( talk) 07:43, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
On the British TV show "The F Word" (Channel 4, 27/05/2008), Gordon Ramsey interviewed Armstrong. In the interview Armstrong suggests he did a PhD in physics at Cambridge. I was unable to find more information on this. Would this be a suitable source for wikiedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.5.201.91 ( talk) 00:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Actually it's Ben Miller who did (and never finished) the PhD.... Bangdrum ( talk) 01:32, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
The reference for this section clearly speculates on the matter rather than confirms that it is true. Therefore, it must be classed as rumour until Armstrong or the production company makes a statement on the matter. Jomunro ( talk) 13:56, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
This article has had that tag on it for a very long time, and it's largely improved since then. I'm being bold and removing the tag, unless anyone's got any objections... Bangdrum ( talk) 16:25, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
I posted the simple line that he is "Single and never married", but someone edited it saying that was "Bizarre and untrue"? Can you please list his wife's name then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.159.111.98 ( talk) 07:44, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
[1] [2] [3] and more, but anyone can google... Pictures? Here: [4]
OK? Bangdrum ( talk) 12:39, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
I can't see a reference to Armstrong, Miller or both in small sketches on 'The Tube' programme as members of a fictitious 'European' rock band. They always mentioned the bands name, but I can't remember, possibly 'Stryker', something with an 's' which sounds more like 'sh', in a pretend Dutch accent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.75.142 ( talk) 23:08, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
Wouldn't the bit about his ancestry fit better with the early life section than the personal life? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.179.200.191 ( talk) 20:47, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Is it relevant anyway? Hundreds of thousands of people are descendants of William 79.76.125.124 ( talk) 17:16, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

This is Armstrong's sister Alice, [5] no? And his brother is Dominic, [6], no? He was the youngest of three children : [7]. I don't think his two siblings need to be notable to be added to the article. Martinevans123 ( talk) 21:49, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Withdrawn. (non-admin closure) — George Ho ( talk) 00:29, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
Alexander Armstrong (comedian) → Alexander Armstrong (entertainer) – Hearing the album A Year of Songs, I'm amazed by his promising music career. I read that he is also a comedian, an actor, et al. Probably "comedian" is not the right way to describe him fully. If "entertainer" is not the way, how about "actor", "television presenter", or "host"? George Ho ( talk) 17:35, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. HandsomeFella ( talk) 09:57, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
