Thank you, Golden Monkey. There should be a policy for that on the wiki... Confirmed in commentery and/or interview = canon. Unfortunateloy, people just don't listen to what the writers and producers, and even her manager say. It is very irritating. An example is that it was confirmed long ago that Lucy Saxon didn't pick up the ring, but no one listened to what they said but me. And then the episode airs, and they realise the truth.

::'''There absolutely, positively should not be such a policy.''' In fact, I think current policy does not consider interviews and commentaries higher sources of information than the episodes themselves, and that's how it should be. Producers are inveterate liars when asked about their work in a public interview. They're '''using''' the media to spin something. Listen to the recent ''[[Who on Who]]'' for RTD frankly admitting this. We should not and '''cannot''' take information that is '''not''' in an episode as superior to what '''is''' in an episode. | |||
::And what's in this episode? Wilf directly asking the Doctor who The Woman was, and the Doctor deliberately not answering. That's all that matters. No matter what's said in commentaries, the writer went out of his way to create ambiguity, so the answer to the question, "Who is The Woman?" can only be, "I do not know." | |||
::All the rest is spin. But you know what? I've listened to the commentary with great, great care and, in the words of RTD, "I think you're mad". At no point does RTD ''ever'' definitively back away from the ambiguity he so deliberately scripted. See more details below.
