Rough black and white footage from the highly anticipated forthcoming Doctor Who series has leaked across the internet, offering a sneak preview into the new series. The new series, starring Peter Capaldi, is not set to air for another six weeks on British television, but rumours are spreading on discussion forums that the leak was wholly intentional as part of a publicity stunt to drum up excitement for the new show. The BBC has since launched a #keepmespoilerfree social media campaign to encourage Doctor Who fans not to share sensitive series 8 plot points and material ahead of broadcast.
