{{AFC comment|1=Per Tavantius, this is a subject that needs citations illustrating notability. So far the bulk of what's been cited are WP:PRIMARY sources. Please try and include critic reviews to help show notability. This has potential, but needs to be expanded. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 15:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)}}
{{AFC comment|1=It should be notable if you can make it so that the BBC sources will be replaced with secondary sources. Additionally, are there any critic reviews on the show. After including those, I'lll accept it. Tavantius (talk) 15:32, 30 September 2024 (UTC)}}
