Accuracy, confidence and image register
This audit applies across the published archive. Claims were checked for unsupported certainty, release histories were separated, placeholder episode titles were removed from the visible guide, and all static web photographs without a clear reusable licence were removed.
Official
Directly supported by BBC, PBS Masterpiece, Eleventh Hour Films, programme credits or the author’s official material.
Venue-confirmed
A venue or location owner confirms filming, although its exact fictional role may still await broadcast evidence.
Reported
Supported by credible secondary or local reporting but not yet confirmed by a production or venue.
Unverified
A research lead only. It is not presented as a filming fact and should not be used to plan access.
