Spoiler policy

  • Respect our spoiler policy. Not everyone wants to read spoilers, so be considerate to those that do not wish to see them. Please do not carelessly post spoilers in your comments and ruin the episode for others.
  • There is an exception – if Doctor Who TV has a post clearly marked as containing spoilers then you are allowed to talk about those spoilers. But only in those comments and only if they are related to the topic. No spoilers from future episodes on a post about episode 1 for instance.
  • With regards to officially released media, if the BBC don’t consider it a spoiler, DWTV site policy is that we generally follow suit. However, there have been occasions where we have disagreed with the BBC and added a spoiler warning.
  • Leaked material – Anything learnt from leaked material and not sanctioned for release by the BBC is considered a spoiler and should not be discussed in the comments. Equally do not share or request links to said material.
  • This is a bannable offence. Spoiler comments in inappropriate places will be deleted and your account could be suspended.
