Major Point 1: Production "Written by Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, it premiered on BBC2 on 5 February 2014. The episode features a stand-alone plot revolving around a group of adults, who are non-recurring characters, playing sardines at an engagement party. The story takes place entirely in the bedroom of a country house, with much of the filming taking place inside a wardrobe. As more characters arrive in the room and step into the wardrobe, secrets shared by some of the characters are revealed. Pemberton and Shearsmith wrote the episode with the intention of evoking a feeling of claustrophobia in viewers." (summarised well in the lead)
Major Point 2: Plot "" (not a concise summary of the corresponding section in the body)
Major Point 3: Cast "In addition to the writers, the episode starred Katherine Parkinson, Tim Key, Luke Pasqualino, Ophelia Lovibond, Anne Reid, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Anna Chancellor, Marc Wootton, Ben Willbond and Timothy West." (summarised well in the lead)

I'm glad to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:
I think the lead can be improved in order to provide an accessible overview and to give relative emphasis.
Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. Josh, please feel free to strike out any recommendation from this review which you think will not help in improving the article which is our main aim here. All the best, --Seabuckthorn♥ 03:38, 9 February 2014 (UTC)reply
Hi Seabuckthorn, thank you for your quick and thorough review. I have adjusted the plot section to avoid the short paragraph and added more plot details to the lead. If you like, I could be more explicit about the fact that child abuse is discussed, though I'd rather not add the plot twist to the lead.
