Spelling of Antony[edit]

Hi, I've added a reference to Antony Jay The_Trap_(television_documentary_series)#Contributors here, but in the caption on the TV programme Antony's name is spelt with an H (Anthony). I'm assuming this is a typing error - please confirm. Thanks --Tomhannen 10:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sir?[edit]

He seems to have 'CVO' and 'CBE' post-nominal letters. Only 'Knight Grand Cross' and 'Knight Commander' of either order permit the use of 'Sir'. Is it possible he is not entitled to the prefix 'Sir', or perhaps we have one of his post-nominal letters wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.105.33.87 (talk) 21:53, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just seen that he was created a 'Knights Bachelor' in 1988 according to

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2016/08/23/yes-minister-creator-antony-jay-has-died-at-the-age-of-86/

perhaps someone should mention this in the section about his other awrds? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.105.33.87 (talk) 22:02, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speechwriting for Thatcher[edit]

Adam Curtis' The Trap asserts Jay was "part of a group advising [Margaret] Thatcher." References to this are hard to come by, though The Adelaide Advertiser claimed in 2012 that Jay "was a former speechwriter for Margaret Thatcher" and Simon Lancaster's Speechwriting: The Expert Guide claims he "helped Margaret Thatcher with some of her speeches". Can anyone come up with enough detail of this aspect of Jay's career to add it to the article? — JEREMY 12:54, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
