Shame actually, there were rumours that Sunil Patel might have participated and he's a cryptoentrepreneur.) I'd suggest running this on the day the series starts~~, probably the 21st of September~~. (Update 30 August: 14th September, as they're running a special programme at the end of the series.)

I didn't know what a "locum GP" is. Maybe that's a good thing, as it makes the first hook more "hooky". But can you clarify that in the lead of the article? Eg you can write "is a Scottish locum general practitioner (GP) from Glasgow." Also, in "Early life and medical career" please also clarify what's a "locum"? Might be helpful to link to Locum#United Kingdom healthcare.VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 13:15, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We have a (somewhat execrable) article about what locum GPs are at sessional GP, a term I've never heard of. I've made some edits to the article.--Laun chba ller 19:11, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The original hook is problematic: there's an implied cause and effect—because of the scandals, they've brought in a locum GP—that is nothing of the sort. So I think the special occasion request will need to drop as well. You'll need to fix the single quote marks in ALT1; curly punctuation is against the MOS on Wikipedia.

Proposed ALT1a above. I'm guessing that "the Strictly Come Dancing contestant" would qualify for WP:DYKTRIM, right?--Laun chba ller 00:04, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ: Done.

Overall: New enough, long enough, QPQ done. Copyvio unlikely per Earwig (7.6%). Image is confirmed to have been included in the video with a CC-BY license, so it's good. As for the hook, technically, she "describes herself" as raised on curry and Irn-Bru, but I'll leave that to the promoter to decide. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:37, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Striking the original hook and ALT1a since neither are the one approved (which mentions curry). BlueMoonset (talk) 03:03, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
