He may be a dab hand at defeating the Daleks but it emerged today that Doctor Who has been outwitted by internet pirates who've purloined a copy of the first episode of the eagerly awaited new series. The BBC has launched an investigation but it is believed the leak came from the production co-partner, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
An idea of the plot can be gleaned here but without spoiling it too much, it apparently involves one-time popette turned Doctor Who sidekick Billie Piper and some evil aliens called Autons.
Sound tempting? If you've got the software you could download it from torrentspy.com. But it appears not everyone wants to. UKNova has taken it off its site so as not to spoil the surprise before the programme is broadcast later this month.
Others who've seen it suggest it may be spoiled enough already. Reviews are mixed to say the least. Still not sure? Check out the official trailer or maybe just make do with a Tardis screen saver.
