I'm writing this rather than immediately correcting because this was hardly an ignored (or just old) part of the DWU. Children of Earth content is actually pretty well covered on this wiki, probably moreso than the entirety of Torchwood's first two series.

Which brings me to ask: has Clem's surname ever been actually spelled as MACDonald anywhere within the DWU? Wikipedia uses the MAC spelling here, but the only bit I can recall is the search term in Day One...except to quote Gwen:

Ianto, I need a search on Clement McDonald. Could be M-C or M-A-C.Gwen Cooper

McDonald is also how it's spelt in the end credits too. Is it a safe bet to just correct the term to Clement McDonald? -- Tybort (talk page) 23:12, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

Days 1-4 consistently go with McDonald in the credits. That's good enough justification to switch to McDonald. The switch is underway. However, because of the narrative confusion, I'm leaving MacDonald behind as a redirect. As far as I'm aware, there's never a point where we see it written out, if for no other reason than that he's officially Timothy White.
