Policies, credits & accessibility

How this independent fan guide researches, labels, corrects and protects its material.

Editorial standard

Episode summaries and analysis are original writing. Dates and credits are checked against official programme pages and end credits; transport details use TfL, National Rail and operator guidance. Location claims carry one of three labels:

  • Confirmed: supported by production material, an authoritative location source or unambiguous screen matching.
  • Reported: credible published or fan evidence exists, but independent confirmation is incomplete.
  • Composite: several places or sets create one screen location.

Uncertainty is preserved rather than upgraded for neatness. Corrections are recorded on the updates page.

Privacy

This site does not add analytics, advertising trackers, user accounts or a submission database. It uses localStorage on your device for spoiler visibility and visited-location choices; clearing site data removes those preferences.

The feedback form does not submit to this website. It prepares a message in your email application. If you send it, your email provider, Google’s receiving service and the Site editor process and store the email under their own systems. Hosting infrastructure may process request data needed to deliver the pages.

No documented retention schedule exists for the feedback mailbox. Until one is adopted, do not include unnecessary personal data. You may use the same mailbox to request deletion. Ordinary outbound links lead to services with their own privacy and cookie policies.

Accessibility statement

The site aims for WCAG 2.2 AA: semantic headings, keyboard operation, visible focus, strong contrast, descriptive alternatives, responsive layouts, reduced-motion and larger-text controls, and print-friendly routes. No conformance claim is made until an independent audit has been completed.

If any page, control or wording is difficult to use, report the page, device and assistive technology through the feedback desk. Accessibility reports are prioritised.

Visitor safety

Location and travel notes are planning aids, not live instructions. Check official services, closures, accessibility and weather immediately before travel. Stay on public routes, follow signs and staff directions, and never trespass or recreate dangerous scenes.
