Date and length fine. Having seen the episode, the hooks are correct and they are sourced inline. @Theleekycauldron: If you wanted to, you could name Bob Murray in the first hook as BLP no longer applies to him given he died a few months ago. My preference would be for ALT0. QPQ is not needed as this is their first nomination. No close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:39, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
