I was saving posting this so I could request a DYK for Christmas Eve. Another editor split a cast and episode list from the The Box of Delights article on Thursday, but basically this is new today. Bob talk 14:51, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. However, I am unable to find the fact that only 6 episodes were broadcast, and that the last one was broadcast on December 24, 1984, in footnote 14. Images are fair use. QPQ done.

@Yoninah: Thanks for this, it's perhaps not as obvious as it could be in the references, as it's in the "broadcasts" section as "BBC One Christmas Eve 1984 17:25". The episodes are listed by clicking the "episodes" button on that reference which lists the six episodes. Do you think switching these to the Radio Times Genome project listing might be better? Bob talk 23:13, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

@Bob Castle: yes, definitely switch it. The Radio Times ref mentions both six episodes and the dates. Yoninah (talk) 23:16, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

@Yoninah: - thanks for this, I've decided to change all of the episode section references to the Genome project. Bob talk 23:55, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. Rest of review above. ALT1 good to go for Christmas Eve. Yoninah (talk) 23:59, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
