Hi Alex, I'll review this one for you. Will get some thoughts on the page up here soon. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:19, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Okay, finally getting around to this. Here are some things I'd like to see fixed up before I promote the article to GA:

• I'd like the lead to be extended a bit, to give a better overview of the whole article. A couple of short paragraphs for the main sections would be better.

 Done Expanded the lead to three paragraphs, including broadcast, casting, production and special episodes. -- Alex^TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• The opening paragraph of the Episodes sections appears to be OR.

 Done Removed. -- Alex^TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• The episode summaries are a bit short, and some of them are bordering on preview-style synopses. I think some work is needed for them.

 Done All expanded through use of the episode articles and their summaries. -- Alex^TW 12:48, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

• The title card image and Tate image appear to me like they should be swapped around.

 Done Swapped. -- Alex^TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• Looks like some referencing work is also required for the Casting and Writing sections.

 Done Added sources for all cast and writing; mostly all from the same BBC episode-specific site. -- Alex^TW 12:48, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• I don't think we should be using the term "perished".

 Done Removed. -- Alex^TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• I think there should be an overall release section, even though release dates are already noted in the episode table. I just think it would be good to have them in prose as well, and you can combine the other release-y stuff with it.

 Done Added, moved Marketing to it with its promotion content, and added a Broadcast section. -- Alex^TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• The marketing section re-introduces characters and actors unnecessarily.

 Done Removed duplication. -- Alex^TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• Is there any ratings information for the season beyond what is listed in the episode table?

No, UK series typically only have the initial 7-day viewer ratings. There's also 28-day ratings available, but they have never had much of a standing in Doctor Who when reliable sources talk about the programme's ratings. -- Alex^TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• There is some awkward wording in the Critical reception section, it needs a general c/e.

 Done Copy-edited and paragraphed. -- Alex^TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• There are enough awards and nominations here that an awards table will probably be beneficial.

 Done Transferred to a table. -- Alex^TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• The soundtrack section is unsourced, and is there a little more information you could add to it?

 Done Expanded slightly, not sure if there's much else to add. -- Alex^TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• Make sure all references are filled out properly and archived.

 Done Ran the IABot on the page. -- Alex^TW 12:48, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Have a go working through those, let me know if there are any questions or concerns, and when you are done so I can come back and have a look. - adamstom97 (talk) 00:57, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

@Adamstom.97: Hey Adam, thanks for waiting for me to get back to this; I had extremely spotty internet until recently, hence a bit of lack of activity, but now that I've got a decent connection again, I've gotten a solid start on the review. Should have it done soon; got most of your points done. -- Alex^TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

@Adamstom.97: All done, cheers. -- Alex^TW 12:48, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Cool, good job. Passed - adamstom97 (talk) 03:49, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
