I'll review this.

"...he had been a fan of the show, but had never had the time to write an episode" and “Writer Neil Cross was a Doctor Who fan, but had never had the time to write an episode.”, Hmmm, suggest you tweak the tenses as it can imply he used to be Doctor Who fan, but isn’t now.
Nice job with the lead.
- Didn't do this yet because I just want to make sure: should it be in present tense? I was just wary of writing it that way. Glimmer721 ^talk 16:58, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, I meant plot here! :o I've fixed the Cross bits to avoid close paraphrasing.

"he did fly in with his family to watch it being filmed" → "However, he flew in with his family to watch the filming", to avoid noun plus -ing.
Done. Glimmer721 ^talk 16:58, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
” Cross only had Coleman's five-minute audition for "Asylum of the Daleks" - in which she played a different but mysteriously linked character — to work from”, incorrect usage of dashes here.
Do you mean the actual dashes themselves (on is nbsp and the other isn't), or do you mean there shouldn't be any at all? Glimmer721 ^talk 16:58, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why commas can't be used here; have removed the dashes.

”gave the story four out of five stars” is used in two sentences. Consider ‘awarded’ for one.

Dan Martin’s review was not published in The Guardian, but theguardian.com – its online edition.
- I changed it to "The Guardian's online reviewer", let me know if it should be more rewritten. I' not sure how much that matters and all of these reviews (sans DWM) were probably just published online instead of in the actual print source. Glimmer721 ^talk 16:58, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Newspaper sources should have the location parameter filled. In this case, The Independent and The Daily Telegraph are all London.
- Done. Should it be done to the Guardian too? Glimmer721 ^talk 16:58, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have tweaked the references for you.

No dabs or dead links; two images have sufficient licenses. Shall pass once comments have been addressed, on hold for seven days. Lemonade51 (talk) 16:27, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed some things and left clarification comments on the others to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Thanks for the review! Glimmer721 ^talk 16:58, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Happy with the changes, am going to pass. Lemonade51 (talk) 16:56, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
