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.
 * ✅ 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.
 * ✅ 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.
 * ✅ 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.
 * ✅ Swapped. --  Alex TW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Looks like some referencing work is also required for the Casting and Writing sections.
 * ✅ 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".
 * ✅ 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.
 * ✅ 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.
 * ✅ 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.
 * ✅ 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.
 * ✅ 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?
 * ✅ 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.
 * ✅ 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)
 * 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)
 * All done, cheers. --  Alex TW 12:48, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Cool, good job. Passed - adamstom97 (talk) 03:49, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
