... that as a child, future script supervisorPamela Mann-Francis would go to the cinema multiple times a week, even during Second World War air raids? Source: "even then I mean we went out to the cinema whether there were air raids or not [...] And we’d go, as I say, once, twice, three times a week sometimes. So I was, I wasbrought up as a kid as a film fan." [1]
Overall: Very polished little article, I enjoyed learning more about "continuity girls." The image in the article is appropriate fair use for a deceased subject. So much sourcing to interviews doesn't strike me as ideal, but Mann-Francis does appear to be notable. I am new-ish to DYK reviewing so I'd appreciate a second set of eyes but this looks good to go to me. ~ oulfis 🌸(talk) 19:52, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Giving that second pair of eyes, I'm happy to pass this. It's a solid article about a notable scripty (not a ton of those), and I'm comfortable with the notability and the fair use. Cute hook, well-sourced -- was worried for a bit as my hearing isn't spectacular, but then I spotted the transcript :) Good to go. Vaticidalprophet08:51, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
