Review section
This article has sourcing issues; one of sections is tagged as "original research". I tried talk page and notified people before FAR, but issues are yet to be resolved. George Ho (talk) 22:49, 24 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Comments - not a huge amount of work required but definitely needs some to maintain Featured status:


 * the Situation section really needs some sources. It is unusual in that it combines synopsis with interpretation in the one section.
 * There is nothing about casting or series development.
 * The see also section should be incorporated into text.

anyway, good luck to whoever decides to work on it. Will take another look once done. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:26, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

FARC section

 * The concerns raised in the review section mostly centred on sourcing and coverage. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:15, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delist. Unsourced paragraphs and sentences, which do not appear to be self-evident. DrKiernan (talk) 17:08, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delist. It's had an original research tag for 2 years! Some unsourced parts look like opinion. e.g., "This is particularly evident in the episode "The Ministerial Broadcast", in which Hacker is advised on the effects of his clothes and surroundings"; "Despite this, the overall thrust was towards government reduction rather than expansion."

 * Delist. No one working on the issues identified.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 00:26, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delist an excellent series but inadequately referenced, far below modern FA standards. BencherliteTalk 15:55, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delist per the others. Poorly sourced and written.—indopug (talk) 13:30, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
