Article is new, long enough, hook is verifiable to BBC News and The Guardian and there are no copyvio concerns. Just need a QPQ. I couldn't help thinking of this as I read the article though! ;-) Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 23:10, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie333, thanks for your review. I had similar thoughts with regards that episode, I find Only Fools and Horses a bit his and miss but that one was an absolute classic! I've now carried out a QPQ at Template:Did you know nominations/Safiya Wazir - Dumelow (talk) 10:35, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

In that case, we are cushti. Do you want to go first, or shall I? Why don't we go together? Okay .... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... YAAAAAAAAAY! Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:33, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

No objections from me - Dumelow (talk) 18:14, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

ok...adding an ALT2; i think we could prob get the "world record" bit in their if we trim the existing blurb. Ceoil (talk) 18:41, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

- ALT2:... that Christ Mocked (pictured), which recently sold for €24 million, is a long-lost painting by Cimabue discovered in the kitchen of an elderly Frenchwoman? "A long-lost painting by a celebrated Italian artist that was found hanging in the kitchen of an elderly French woman has sold for €24m (£20m; $26.6m) at auction, setting a new record" (BBC News)

I was asked to just come back and give my approval to ALT2, which in my opinion is "lovely jubbly". So there you go. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 23:03, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
