... that Margaret Powell's 1968 memoir, Below Stairs, has inspired three television series: Upstairs, Downstairs, Beryl's Lot and now Downton Abbey?

I've now reviewed Das Millionenspiel. Yngvadottir (talk) 22:41, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Date, length, hook all fine. References 5, 7, and 10 are by subscription, O.K. Reference 11 appears to be a dead link and should be removed. Enjoyed reading the online sources. There seem to be a lot of quotes for the size of the article, but they do add to the article, and I would leave them. No photo to check. So, some minor reference tidying up, and I think you'll be good to go. Anne (talk) 01:35, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing it! As for reference 11, I left the direct link to The Independent obit because it's apparently a problem at their end - it comes up on a Google News search and was formerly the only ref at Kevin Laffan, but doesn't come up when you search their site - but I had to use my Highbeam subscription to read that obit, so I added that URL at the end of the reference for those who can use it.

Looks like you're set then. Congratulations. Anne (talk) 23:49, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I did add "subscription required" to all the ones using Highbeam, although parts of them may be visible without a subscription. --Yngvadottir (talk) 11:54, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
