Article new enough, long enough, sourced, neutral and plagiarism free. Hook interesting and referenced, but I think the hook should clarify that Attenborough converted his dining room to a sound stage. QPQ done. Corachow (talk) 13:43, 4 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I thought it's a bit confusing without the context. ALT1 looks fine to me. Corachow (talk) 12:06, 5 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
