Doctor Who in chaos as top secret script of show’s huge finale goes missing from BBC set
DOCTOR Who bosses fear major spoilers leaking before the new series even begins after a script went astray.
BBC sleuths were able to track the dossier down to a computer server in Brazil – where Time Lord actor Ncuti Gatwa had just been on holiday.
Showrunner Russell T Davies said it would be a miracle if they are able to reach the current series finale without details being leaked.
In a joint interview alongside Ncuti, he told SFX magazine: “I just hope we can get from here to transmission without things being spoiled, because things do get spoiled.
“And things get spoiled to an extraordinary degree.
“We found one script – I’m going to say this – we found one script on an open server in Brazil.
“It’s nuts. That’s what happens.”
Sex Education star Ncuti then chipped in: “I was going to say, oh my god — I was in Brazil.”
But Russell quickly added: “It wasn’t you.”
Ncuti, 31, was first seen as the 15th Doctor at Christmas.
The new series starts on May 11.
