Talk:April MacLean

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) Apparently it's actually spelled "MacClean" SarahJaneFan ☎  11:25, October 26, 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)
 * 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. 17:34, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Too bad they didn't bother checking the actual Polish spelling of the name "Mateusz" (single "t")... JagoAndLitefoot ☎  20:01, October 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * The novel Joyride spells it MacLean on p. 43. Amorkuz ☎  14:03, October 27, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, about that definitive spelling. It would have been definitive, if BBC editors did their job right. Apart from the above-mentioned spelling MacLean on p. 43, there is another spelling, MacClean on p. 59 and twice on p. 61 of Joyride. Thus, there are two distinct in-universe spellings.
