Borderline and has been in CAT:NN for over 11 years because it's tricky. TV series on BBC, with notable actors and writers. I don't think it does pass WP:NOTABILITY though, based on coverage and significance. Boleyn (talk) 13:07, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- I agree that it's borderline and especially difficult to search for -- "scoop" is not a useful search term for news articles about much of anything, unfortunately, and given that it is associated with the BBC we're losing a whole range of potential independent sources. Google searches make it pretty clear that it's well known enough a quantity, though I fully acknowledge this isn't necessarily helpful in determining notability. However, it's a nationally broadcast show that lasted several years on the largest national broadcast network. This seems like the type of thing that WP:NTV is made for. It can at least be verified independently by [1], and has passing mentions in various articles about the participants. matt91486 (talk) 06:07, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NTV. I agree with Matt91486 that a BBC series that ran for three seasons is likely to be notable, even if currently searchable sources seem to be hard to find. — Toughpigs (talk) 01:03, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's a kid's show so formulaic they have to keep it locked behind the service desk to prevent other bad writers from stealing their tired plots, but it just passes WP:TVSHOW and WP:NTV. Nate • (chatter) 01:39, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
