- Source is good. I just don't find the hook engaging enough. Could you add some more detail? Lankyant (talk) 09:35, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

- Just saw the comment re: hook. Agree it is too generic. Here is one ALT to start.
- ALT1: ... that the pilot episode for a BBC series on a suicide prevention charity made some critics laugh?

Overall: Expanded from 947 to 6649 in the four days up to nom, very few issues with sourcing, had to fix some close paraphrasing myself. @Cielquiparle: fix the issues and you're good to go. ミラP@Miraclepine 19:57, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Cielquiparle: I see all the issues have been dealt with. ALT1. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:00, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Miraclepine: Thanks for the thorough review and for catching that I hadn't checked all the credits in the infobox which were there from before. I added an episode list to the bottom of the article that lists which writer and director worked on which episode with references, after working out how to find the BBC Genome Project entries for each, and removed all the footnotes I had added to the infobox as an interim step on that basis. I've also pieced together plot summaries for each episode and iterated to use different wording from the original TV listings without changing the meaning or making it too verbose or too non-British. The running time, cast, and the producer appearing in the infobox are now discussed within the main article body, with citations. Cielquiparle (talk) 03:30, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
