You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Philip John Purser''' (28 August 1925 – 1 August 2022) was a British television critic and novelist.

==Life and career==
Purser was born in [[Letchworth]], [[Hertfordshire]] on 28 August 1925. His mother had been the first female student of an art school in [[Sheffield]], and later worked as a postcard artist in the style of [[Mabel Lucie Attwell]]. After service in [[World War I]], his father eventually worked for [[Tarmac Group|Tarmac]] in [[Liverpool]] from 1934 when the family settled in the [[Wirral Peninsula]]. Purser had an older sister, Rozanne.<ref>((Cite news|last=Purser|first=Philip|url=https://www.theguardian.com/education/2013/apr/24/rozanne-purser-obituary|title=Other Lives: Rozanne Purser|work=The Guardian|date=24 April 2013|access-date=11 December 2021))</ref>

A contributor to the ''[[News Chronicle]]'' in the 1950s, he was television critic of ''[[The Sunday Telegraph]]'' from its launch in 1961 until he was sacked in 1987 by [[Peregrine Worsthorne]], the then editor. Purser co-authored two editions of ''[[Leslie Halliwell|Halliwell's]] Television Companion'' (1982, 1986, originally ''Halliwell's Teleguide'' 1979) and wrote a TV film ''[[The One and Only Phyllis Dixey]]'' (''Peek-A-Boo'') on the wartime erotic entertainer for [[Thames Television]] in 1978. A biography of Dixey (co-authored with Jenny Wilkes) was published in the same year.

Purser contributed obituaries to ''[[The Guardian]]''. He was married to the crime writer Ann Purser; the couple had two daughters and one son. Purser died from Alzheimer's disease on 1 August 2022, at the age of 96.<ref>((Cite news |title=Philip Purser obituary |url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/aug/15/philip-purser-obituary |access-date=15 August 2022 |work=The Guardian |date=15 August 2022))</ref>
