April's surname

Where is April's surname given? I couldn't find it anywhere on the first two episodes. OncomingStorm12th 13:48, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

Miss Quill says it in episode 1. "April McClain. The answer to the question: are spinsters born or made?" JagoAndLitefoot 14:16, October 23, 2016 (UTC)
Official BBC subtitles spell it as "Maclean"? Lapistier 03:00, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

Apparently it's actually spelled "MacClean" SarahJaneFan 11:25, October 26, 2016 (UTC)

I don't believe this can be determined yet, as per T:SPOIL. Amorkuz 11:37, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
I don't think the correct spelling of a name that has already been mentioned on screen is a spoiler. Unfortunately, for now the official website link for April incorrectly links to Charlie's. Once it's fixed, I think that should be a better source for the spelling than the subtitles, which are often full of mistakes. JagoAndLitefoot 15:16, October 26, 2016 (UTC)

I should point out that the BBC website absolutely isn't a valid source for these things. Historically, it's often been rife with errors. Too bad, really, because it even gives Matteusz a last name. Hopefully one of the books does, too.
