Comment: Is the year needed in the hook? Also, the details about the differences between the two HIV storylines (the relatively recent one that Nambiar worked on and the original 1991 story) is the most interesting thing of all, and creating a hook about that would be incredible.

QPQ: None required.

Overall: article is good and spotcheck checked out. The hook is currently only cited to a primary source (an opinion piece where she states she worked on it), and while it is almost certainly true, it is not verifiable. Is there a secondary source which says she worked on it (there's one that says THT worked on it). @Sleepytimecat: 1brianm7 (talk) 18:04, 7 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Comment: @1brianm7: Cheers for having a look over it! You're right, just had a nosy though and have managed to add an additional NHS reference that mentions she worked with the Eastenders team.

Ok cool, the hook is approved. 1brianm7 (talk) 01:38, 8 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
