Hi. Great article. I don't see any problems except this uncited statement. Any chance it could be cited or removed?

some of the coaches on the train used by Hannay to travel from London were British Railways Mark 1s dating from the 1950s.

One more thing. Some things may have been overlinked. How about linking just once to each item? I'd do it the first time something is mentioned, like for example, Rupert Penry-Jones. Thanks -SusanLesch (talk) 04:21, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I have referenced both unreferenced statements, and I have removed the cast section as most of the info (and the links) was already in the plot section. I have removed a duplicate link to Penry-Jones in the lead as well. I don't think that there are any other overlinked articles as any duplicates don't feature in the same section and are fairly well spread in the text. People may not read the whole article at once and I find trying to locate the one instance of a link a bit frustrating. mattbr 11:55, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Can you move this sentence down? To Production I think. Go over the lead so it conforms to WP:LEAD: rather than introduce it ought to summarize. -SusanLesch (talk) 19:22, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Penry-Jones became the fifth actor to play Hannay on film, preceded by Robert Donat, Kenneth More, Barry Foster and Robert Powell.

As part of the lead rewrite, I have left part of that sentence in and included a bit about previous adaptations to show that it was not the first. I moved the rest to the production section. Is that better? mattbr 20:36, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes it is better and now the article expands the lead. Thank you for making these changes. -SusanLesch (talk) 00:21, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
