This page absolutely does contain spoilers either about the behind-the-scenes or narrative elements of stories which have not yet been published or broadcast. Please see our spoiler policy for our rules governing articles about such subjects.
Information from any leaked videos or any other improperly released material is strictly disallowed on any part of this wiki. Similarly, images of any part of the production process — unless officially released by the BBC themselves or their licensees — are forbidden at Tardis.

Please also remember to directly quote people, or to exactly characterise their statements. Do not say that someone said something when they really didn't. Work from original quotes — not a paraphrasing of them.

Remember, a part of the production team's job is to tell the truth, but only very narrowly. So this page should contain only what they exactly say.
