Culprit of Leaked Doctor Who Episode Found
marekk writes "The person responsible for leaking the premeire episode of the new BBC Doctor Who series has reportedly been uncovered and fired according to BBC . Looks like the speculation over possible viral advertising by the BBC didn't pan out. "
If you're not a regular follower of the BBC, there are large structural changes and job cuts afoot. Remember those glorious days you could catch the World Service via shortwave in North America? I still can, from the Carribean. But where am I supposed to watch the latest Dr. Who? Are there BBC TV channels carried via satellite? Will I be able to download it? I get blocked from live sports casts, which usually say 'to UK only'

Find the phone booth and go back to tell yourself NOT to leak the show!

It was a rough cut with unfinished editing, audio work, and SFX. They're not going to leak that deliberately, as it would (and did) reflect negatively on the show.
It's Doctor Who... it's always got bad editing, audio and SFX!

Man. It took several false starts to actually be able to fully decode this headline. It seemed strangely right-recursive.

It's good to use your head, but not as a battering ram.
If you have any information about "The Doctor", if you or anyone you know has seen him, please submit a report to this site, which is trying to put together some sort of coherent answer to the question in the parent post.
Do not approach him if you see him however, as he has a long history of association with death and destruction. Don't bother reporting him to the authorities, as there is evidence of a long-running cover-up, but be very careful as he is clearly an extremely dangerous man.
