A leak at the Doctor's

The BBC is suing an American website showing footage from an upcoming episode of Doctor Who. The footage is understood without finished effect or a proper music score. The BBC are thought to be showcasing the forthcoming new season (which introduces the first female Doctor in the form of actress Jodie Whittaker) at this year's San Diego Comic Con. This is not the first time the show has been the victim of an early leakage of footage. Famed comic book writer Warren Ellis wrote a review of Rose the first episode of the revival nearly a week before it was shown. If Doctor Who footage is shown at Comic Con the footage may not appear online as the various media companies who will be showing off their wares at event can be very strict about such footage suddenly appearing on the net via shaky mobile phone camera work. The wait for new Who footage may be longer than some may wish.
