Doctor Who Bosses Fear Major Spoilers Amidst Script Leak
BBC executives are facing a major headache as they attempt to prevent spoilers from leaking ahead of the highly anticipated new season of Doctor Who. The concerns come after a script for the popular sci-fi show was found on an unsecured computer server in Brazil.
BBC investigators were able to trace the script to the server, which is located in the same country where actor Ncuti Gatwa, who plays the Doctor, had recently been on holiday. This has raised suspicions that the leak may have occurred while the script was in Gatwa’s possession.
Showrunner Russell T Davies has expressed his concern over the leak, stating that it would be a ‘miracle’ if they are able to reach the series finale without any major spoilers being revealed. Davies emphasized the severity of the situation, highlighting the potential for the leak to ruin the viewing experience for fans.
During a joint interview with SFX magazine, Davies revealed that the BBC had discovered the script on the unsecured server in Brazil. He acknowledged that the leak was a serious issue and that the team was working diligently to contain the damage.
Actor Ncuti Gatwa, who is set to make his debut as the 15th Doctor, also commented on the situation, expressing his surprise and concern. Gatwa clarified that he was not responsible for the leak and had no knowledge of how the script ended up on the server.
The new season of Doctor Who is scheduled to premiere on May 11th. The BBC is expected to continue its investigation into the leak and will likely implement stricter security measures to prevent further breaches in the future.
