Man Down (Holby City)

- Article is new enough, is huge, and is written in a careful and encyclopedic way. No copyvio issues: quotations are attributed properly. The hooks are short enough and are all stated in the article with an inline source, usually backed by multiple sources. I think it's desirable to link Holby City in the hooks. I personally think ALT1 is the most interesting; the others are more normal things I would expect to happen in creating a TV episode. The source for ALT1 doesn't explicitly mention stunts, but it mentions being on the edge of a roof with a harness, so a stunt is the fair way to summarise that in a word. Looking at another source from the article — ref 7 — the shot is explicitly described as a stunt. Better to have singular "stunt" rather than "stunts". For ALT2: the hook mentions the actor talking to friends and medical professionals, but the given source says the actor consulted people he knew, and the programme worked with a mental health charity, so this source doesn't specify that the actor spoke with medical professionals. In the article, the statement is backed by a different source which is a broadcast interview, so assuming good faith on that. Also note typo in ALT2 "prepartion". QPQ done.
- So the article definitely qualifies, and the three hooks qualify (once the typo's fixed and maybe with the addition of the Holby City wikilink, and assuming goof faith for the ALT2 ref.)- my issues were with the sources suggested in this nomination rather than the sources which are used in the article. Good to go with a preference for ALT1 (but prefer "stunt" in the singular).
