 * Delete. Non-notable television series. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 19:50, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is a notable, serious, television documentary series broadcast nationally in the UK by the BBC during primetime. It has an IMDb article and its narrator is a notable historian who has a Wikipedia article. I cannot understand why anyone would think it is not notable. The article needs improving, which I expected to be done by viewers. The shortness of the article is a reason to expand it, not to delete it. Jim Michael (talk) 20:02, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per, , , , , , and . You are a lazy nominator. SL93 (talk) 20:58, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * You also misused a speedy deletion tag on this article earlier. SL93 (talk) 20:59, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Minor point: of the sources you give, the Radio Times is published by the BBC so not really suitable. But that hardly weakens your point! Dricherby (talk) 21:19, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Not true, the Radio Times is independent because the BBC sold it in 2011. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:26, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy close as keep, since SL93's sources have unquestionably established notability and no other argument for deletion remains.— S Marshall T/C 21:33, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Clearly notable as per reviews I've just added.--A bit iffy (talk) 22:16, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Snow keep per prior comments.--Arxiloxos (talk) 05:55, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The arguments for keeping are convincing, the argument for deletion certainly isn't. --Michig (talk) 07:00, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep Hoedhuette.jpg — Notable topic. E.g. The 70s shows flare with 2.7 million viewers, The Guardian, 17 April 2012. Northamerica1000(talk) 14:32, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a BBC2 series, the 4th most watched programme on the channel w/e 29/4/2012 with 2.58 million viewers. Why on earth would you want to delete the entry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rcclh (talk • contribs)
 * Keep, Very notable TV series, and from the amount of comments it's easy to say that the article should be kept.--Mjs1991 (talk) 06:19, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
