City of Death[edit]

... that Douglas Adams convinced John Cleese to appear in the Doctor Who serial City of Death after learning the comedian would be working in BBC Television Centre on the same day of filming?

Comment: It'd be great if this could be promoted in time for the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who on the 23rd; I realize this is short notice though.

This got GA on Nov 16 so it is nearly eligable, it is well referenced, the hook fact is offline but AGF, there is no image, article reads well and I cannot see evidence of copyvio. I think the hook could be summarised as, but its only an alternative and mentioning Dr Who, Cleese and Adams make it quite hooky anyway! Victuallers (talk) 17:29, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

(alt1)... that Douglas Adams convinced John Cleese to appear in the Doctor Who serial City of Death because he happened to be around?

Cam we IAR this through? Victuallers (talk) 17:34, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

ALT1 hook is 123 characters (under 200 character max. limit). IAR applied to the 5 day rule, since this is a special occasion. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:11, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks a lot to both of you! Ruby 2010/2013 21:35, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
