Overall: Nice article. Everything looks good, including the proposed hook, which is plenty interesting. I chuckled at the comparison to a septuagenarian Fleabag but I think that'd be harder to format into a good hook, so approving this one. DanCherek (talk) 04:02, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

@DanCherek: So something like:

ALT1: ... that the title character of Hey Lady! has been described as a septuagenarian Fleabag? Sources: Now, Bill Brioux, Toronto Star (ProQuest 2352334404) – Reidgreg (talk) 12:26, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Note that I did not style Fleabag in italics as referring to the character (both series have eponymous title characters, or rather it's "Lady" for Hey Lady! and "Fleabag" for Fleabag). It might be more hooky. I wasn't sure how well-known Fleabag is, but three reviewers did make the comparison and the word itself might raise curiosity. Another potential hook would be how Lady breaks the fourth wall in an attempt to seize control of her fate, but I didn't find enough material to properly state that in the article. – Reidgreg (talk) 12:26, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

@Reidgreg: I really like that one too, so I'll give that a

tick and pass the decision onto the promoter (with slight preference for ALT1), unless you have a personal preference in which case we can go with your decision. I think Fleabag is popular enough after it swept the Emmys; in any case it would definitely pique people's interest. DanCherek (talk) 12:54, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Sounds good, thanks! – Reidgreg (talk) 13:09, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
