The Register reports that:

Scripts for the first five episodes of the yet-to-be-screened and highly-anticipated series eight of Doctor Who have been leaked online.

The leak is said to have come from BBC Worldwide's new Miami office, which was arranging translation of the new series for non-English speaking markets. The scripts are said to bear a BBC watermark, the name of a staffer and to be extremely detailed post-production scripts describing on-screen action as well as dialogue.

Unconfirmed rumours claimed the scripts were placed on a public server which was indexed by a search engine. An innocent search stumbled upon the scripts, which eventually made their way into torrents and sites such as Scribd.

    Whatever happened to the Easter premieres of the last few years?

    • - Late Easter, followed by Soccer World Cup < 12 weeks later
    • - 2013 budget and time blown on the 50th anniversary specials*
    • - Probably also has something to do with the USA TV schedules, now its really taking off over there.

    *Money well spent, of course, vis: 'Adventure in Space & Time' - quite good,
    'Day of the Doctor' - quite good,
    'The 5-ish doctors' - bit of a laugh,
    'Day of the Doctor Afterparty' - stunning(ly bad) but not quite up there with the Star Wars Holiday Special or the Sam Fox/Mick Fleetwood Brit awards!!!
