An Important Note on Spoilers

An Important Note on Spoilers

As some of you may know due to an error in the USA some series 7b DVD and Blu-ray Sets have been sent out early. It is probably inevitable that these will get posted on the internet.

This is a request NOT to post any spoilers that you may read on the internet or elsewhere on this site (or link to sites that have posted them) – not everyone wants to read them!

Thankyou.

    To be perfectly honest it serves them right!

    I’m totally fed up with constantly looking at things & finding spoilers everywhere. At the end of each episode we get NEXT TIME giving away chunks of the story, piles of Trailers, ‘fans’ sticking photos up months before, ‘Exclusives’ from DWA, DWM, RT & others – With the biggest offenders being the BBC themselves. I’m not that desperate that I can’t wait for a surprise every weekend…

      it’s true they do give stuff away sometimes.

      …and as a perfect example of spoilers this week’s Radio Times with Clara on the cover

    They done this once before with the t.v movie back in 96. Releasing the video the week before it was transmitted on BBC 1. Nice to see they learn from their mistakes

    Do NOT download any Torrents if you see them, they are all viruses/indecent videos and you could get in serious trouble.
    On the plus side, Moffat says if no one says anything about the finale, we’ll get a special scene featuring Matt Smith and David Tennant.

      Has the mainstream press reported on this? They would have a field day with the BBC about the US DVD error. All it takes is for one person to upload the final episode to Youtube.

    I’m not annoyed by this at all. I mean, it’s not like we’re not going to be able to see the episdoe is it?! The actors know whats gonna happen so who cares if a few fans find out early! It’s only one episode,not the entire series haha!

      Cyberman

    This sounds like an episode I’ll watch on my own. I hardly ever hear anything that happens and I can’t be bothered to watch it on iplayer. I still have no idea what happened in Cold War.

      yes, it happened in the UK with Torchwood, Doctor Magazine got sent out early so they had to rush the news of DT coming back and Just last week mr Sweet from the crimson horror was given away by Doctor Who Adventures

    • TheWhomobile

      May 12th, 2013 - 8:10pm

      perhaps you’re right but it seems that they’re getting everything at the minute. they get the episode after broadcast on iTunes whereas we have to wait a whole week and then the most important episode of the series is leaked! but you are quite right we shouldn’t judge

    • The Greater Intelligence

      May 12th, 2013 - 9:27pm

      I agree, I’m in America and am always being put down or stereotyped for being an American fan. Just because I wasn’t born in the country of a lot of the stuff I like, doesn’t mean I’m less or different than any of the other fans that are.

  • TheWhomobile

    May 12th, 2013 - 7:59pm

    this is why the British should keep full control of Doctor Who as this would never have happened. I’m really looking forward to the next episode and if I see some spoilers it will be completely spoilt. I’m going to have to watch what sites I use now. Bet Moffat is fuming!

    May 12th, 2013 - 7:43pm

    If I was Moffat I would sue the company who sent these out. This is because this could be actually slash that WILL BE the biggest episode of doctor who and if I was him I would take away broadcasting rights for doctor who from bbc America and American fans should buy the DVDs from the uk were we can be responsible. In my opinion Booboo you should keep the comments open and if anyone does spoil it for us they should be banned. It’s simply not fair

      probably as simple as the wrong date put into despatch

      Many warehouses have DVD’s way in advance ready to ship so people get them on the release date and its common for them to get sent put a day or 2 early (happened with Torchwood)

      This however is very serious breach because the production team did not want the ending getting out
