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)
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)
- (or let's just wait until the novels are released tomorrow) JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 15:28, October 26, 2016 (UTC)

- My point exactly. I don't remember the name spelled onscreen. There were a couple of spelling suggestions based on Google Book preview of the unreleased books. Those are clearly too early to use. But if we wait just one day, we should have a definitive in-universe (unlike closed captions) spelling. It seems most efficient to wait this one day. Amorkuz ☎ 16:11, 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.
