Last week, an incomplete scene featuring Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor surreptitiously hit the web, giving fans eager for leaks and spoilers a taste of what to expect from the next season of Doctor Who. But while in the entertainment business leaks and spoilers are part and parcel of the industry, in this case, the BBC is none too pleased about it.
In fact, the corporation has filed an application in a California court this week in an effort to expose the person who put the leaked footage online—hoping California’s Federal Court would put pressure on Tapatalk, whose messaging service was used to upload and disseminate a non-final, 53-second clip of Whittaker’s Doctor in action. The BBC isn’t accusing Tapatalk of any wrongdoing; rather, it just wants details on the user that uploaded the clip, so it can attempt to isolate just where in Doctor Who’s long line of production the clip got leaked.

And I don't get why you think it's so *important* for me to be fine with it. It just comes off as a politically-motivated gimmick.
For what it's worth, I gave up watching the show shortly into Twelve's stint anyway. Can't stand Clara or the Victorian Dinosaur, Lesbian Servant, and Unfunny Troll.
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"
