Written by subject

Reviewing this article's extensive history, it seems the only major contributor for a significant period of time was a single user, who themselves only edited articles in connection with this one. As per Wikipedia's COI policy, I've heavily edited it to remove all unsourced claims. The article has been reduced to a stub. A number of the larger, unsourced claims include that Lamont wrote drafts of Paddington and Paddington 2, which given that he writes for television does not seem impossible, but is not corroborated anywhere aside from his Twitter page (which ambiguously says 'Paddington.'). If anyone reading this travels back to the article's earliest history, it is clearly a self-authored page. Imaginestigers (talk) 09:19, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
