Public Service Announcement - Beware Script & Episode Leakage!

[cosmichobo]

And it gets worse! Deep Breath was on the same server and is now in the wild... But - has missing SFX and titles...

...

(Not the voice of this forum's moderators, but a public service announcement all the same)

Eps 1 - 5 of Series 8 have gone public by accident...

Beware! Beware! Beware!

You wouldn't want to go reading them and ruining nearly half of 12's first season...

Well, or you could just take a peep... The pre-titles sequence for Deep Breath is quite promising, in a Moffat kind of way... Oops!

This is what Baggie has said on the subject in the News section.

Hi Blen!
A full clarification of GW's stance will be going up later today.

In the meantime, the usual rule of thumb applies: NO links to where the leaked scripts are hosted,or requests/hints on where to find them.

NO untagged spoilers in threads or spoilers and speculation in thread titles.

Be on the alert for fake spoilers or spoilers masked as speculation too.

Well I can't resist a small spoilers,

the episodes scripts are pretty good.

An I really do hope aunty opens her purse for the first episode, otherwise some elements will look a bit naff.

Moffat has return to form in the writing department, especially episode 4.

Ooohh, and I thought I was bad reading the pre title sequence...

The temptation! Must resist the temptation! Must not go looking! Must! Not!

[Blencathra]

Don't look!! You will regret it!! It's only 6 weeks. Be strong!

[Teddybrown]

Indeed, be strong! Thats what I'm telling myself...

[knowles2]

be weak and read the scripts. 6 weeks is ages and it eleven very long weeks until the 5 episode airs!

[Bagpuss]

The premiere's now been leaked incomplete,but that won't matter to anyone who lacks the patience to wait for the new Season.

I'll repeat what I just posted in the News Thread:

{snipped}

*Mod hat on*

No un-tagged spoilers,no linking,etc of the leaked Ep.
Anyone who blurts out spoilers or posts them in thread Titles,VM/posts is risking going on Mod till after the episode airs.
Likewise warning anyone who posts the leaked scripts: don't ruin the new Season for others!

TY!

[cosmichobo]

Have to say.. If the title sequence was present in the leaked copy, I'd be tempted to watch that far... But nah.

[P-90_177]

I think in general most Doctor Who fans are willing to suffer the wait and get the finished product.

[Blencathra]

I agree.

Personally I don't want to see a half finished episode. I prefer to watch in HD on my nice big telly along with the rest of the UK. I love the anticipation, the camaraderie, the excitement of it all, and then discussing it afterwards with other fans. It's like waiting for Christmas, the actual wait is half the fun.

I agree, only time I've watched a half cut version was the new X Men film, and it wasn't enjoyable to watch...

[cosmichobo]

BBC Worldwide have apologized to fans/cast/crew for the leaked scripts and episodes. Disciplinary action has been taken (guessing - you're fired!!)

Interestingly, they appear to be referring to the incident as "illegal", however if the files were on a public FTP site, I see no crime..?

The title is NOT in the leaked copy. It just uses the Series 7 one.
