 * Symbol question.svg Meets size criteria (though looks pretty bare with all the tables), age, hook pretty mundane - can we come up with something more interesting, say about where it was filmed or something? Any reviews linking Glenister to being in Life on Mars (period piece cop typecast..dunno) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:28, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree, the hook could be more catchy. How about something like:
 * ALT1: ... that the BBC filmed The Great Train Robbery in Yorkshire, as it was the "most cost-effective and realistic alternative" to filming in 1960s England?
 * That sentence in the article might need a bit of work, but that stood out for me as an interesting and somewhat amusing fact. --Canley (talk) 02:27, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that is workable - just some rejigging as it sounds like Yorkshire is not in England. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:38, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Could the hook be shown on the main page on either 18 December or 19 December?  Tentinator   19:55, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Should be doable. all ok now, I misread the hook. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:13, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
