Think Tank

 * ... that Think Tank is both a Bill Turnbull-fronted 2016 BBC One game show and a Mickey Hutton-fronted 1995 Channel 4 game show?

 * Article is short but long enough, every bit of info is cited with reliable sources, new enough and well-written. Yep, looks passable for DYK, except for one thing: The part about the "Mickey Hutton-fronted 1995 Channel 4 game show" needs to be in the article as well. editorEهեইдအ😎 23:07, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It got removed in this edit. I have reinstated it.-- Laun  chba  ller  08:41, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg BTW, the person removed it again. (sighs) Stupid vandalist, he keeps removing the background section that has this info only because its "poorly-written". That's not a reason to remove content, someone should block this moron. Thanks for letting me know about this. editorEهեইдအ😎 22:37, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Unless the hook fact is in the article and sourced, it cannot be used. At the moment, it's in the article, but unsourced; Launchballer, you need to reinsert the source about the Hutton show if you want to use the current hook; alternatively, you can propose a different hook.

 * I've added a different reference since for once I do take the point of the remover - although I am actively considering writing a separate article.-- Laun  chba  ller  10:13, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Launchballer, there are still a couple of problems here. First is that the source given does not confirm the 1995 fact, and if it's going to be in the hook, it has to be in an article source. The second is that in the article, Channel 4 is not attributed to the Hutton show, but to Hangar 17, which was actually a BBC show. These both need to be fixed. If you can't find a source for the year, perhaps an ALT hook should be considered. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:20, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * He probably didn't want to admit having appeared on the digital graveyard of CBBC. I've removed a couple of bits from the sentence.-- Laun  chba  ller  21:29, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

- Please suggest a new hook Launchballer. The Mickey Hutton statement is from a promotional site which I don't think is the best source. I think this DYK could easily be approved if we had a new hook. ツStacey (talk) 10:07, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I've just struck the original hook, since Launchballer removed the 1995 fact from the article. An ALT hook will be needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:45, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * ALT1... that prior to fronting Think Tank, Bill Turnbull had been wanting to do a quiz show for some time?-- Laun  chba  ller  12:03, 29 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Full review completed by User:EditorE; ALT1 is sourced within the article, it is short enough and fairly interesting. ツStacey (talk) 11:24, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
