Casualty (series 29)

 * ... that series 29 of Casualty was described as featuring some of "the most dramatic episodes in three decades" of the serial? Source: "Casualty: Four part finale could be the most dramatic episodes in three decades of the series"
 * ALT1:... that Casualty received criticism for a series 29 episode which featured a crash that viewers believed resembled the 2014 Glasgow bin lorry crash? Source: "Casualty criticised over "deeply unfortunate" lorry crash storyline"
 * Reviewed: Wonderous Stories
 * Comment: Feel free to suggest another hook.

 * Article was promoted to GA on 16 June 2017 and nominated at DYK on 17 June 2017‎, so within 7 days. Article is long enough (DYK check shows 15915 characters, excluding episode lists, etc). The article is written from a neutral point of view, cites its sources and contains no copyright issues. QPQ verified. Both hooks are cited, however, the first hook I think is slightly misleading as the article states the episodes were "potentially" some of "the most dramatic episodes" and the source is a reviewer wondering if the episodes could be the most dramatic in three decades. I think ALT1 is more interesting, and there are no problems with it. Other articles should be linked, so I would go ahead with this:
 * ALT2: "...that the BBC medical drama series Casualty received criticism for a series 29 episode which featured a crash that viewers believed resembled the 2014 Glasgow bin lorry crash?"
 * which is 174 characters long. I would say it's Symbol confirmed.svg good to go unless ALT2 now needs to be checked by someone else... —  a nemone   p ro j ec t ors  18:27, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Brilliant, thank you for the review - I would be happy with ALT2 as well.  Soaper1234  -  talk  13:51, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
