The Quatermass Experiment[edit]
Self-nomination. I know there is already a Quatermass serial in featured articles, but there are many other examples of lots featured articles on similar subjects, so I didn't see the harm in giving this one a go. Therefore here it is - it spent two weeks on peer review and attracted only one comment, the suggestions in which which I have addressed. Angmering 11:35, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Support. Sorry for taking so long to answer this FAC nomination. Great article.
Two things, though: In the Cast and crew section, the author(s) mention Rudolph Cartier became "something of a legend in the television industry", yet they do not name any greater projects he worked on after The Quatermass Experiment, like they do for the other crew members. Remember to "show, not tell". It might also be a good idea to replace the claim he became a legend with a quote from someone else praising him, for the sake of NPOV. Next, in the 2005 remake section, the article mentions "Actor Jason Flemyng played Quatermass, with Mark Gatiss as Paterson and David Tennant as Briscoe." Neither Paterson nor Briscoe are named in the rest of the article, so there is no way for readers to know what their role in the plot was; this needs clarification.Otherwise, as I said, this is great. I especially appreciate the small details the author(s) collected about the broadcasts (over-/underrun times, air times). Excellent. Phils 08:53, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Many thanks for these excellent comments - I have tried to address them as best I can. I have added details of a few of Cartier's important later productions (there are further details in his individual page), and I have expanded the 'Plot' section a little to include mentions of the original Paterson and Briscoe.

- I've now also added a quote praising Cartier rather than simply saying that he was highly regarded, as requested. Angmering 11:21, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
