The "Doctor Who" scripts leak was condemned by BBC as network execs requested fans who might have gotten hold of the material to refrain from sharing it with others.

In a statement, the British network confirmed the "Doctor Who" scripts leak as it is "currently investigating the security issue" for season 8 of the series. It also said that the materials that made their way online are still "unfinished."

"We deeply regret this and apologise to all the show's fans, the BBC and the cast and crew who have worked tirelessly making the series," the statement said.

It also issued a plea "to anyone who might have any of this material and spoilers associated with it not to share it with a wider audience so that everyone can enjoy the show as it should be seen on 23rd August."

According to Mashable, the "Doctor Who" scripts leak involved five materials from season 8, starring Peter Capaldi, and the apparent breach occurred when they were sent via email "between BBC bureaus."

In a report by BBC, the first script is titled "Deep Breath" is marked "private and confidential," just like the other four scripts.

Showrunner Steven Moffat in 2011 slammed fans who continue to spoil the experience for others who wait for the show's TV run. As BBC noted, viewers in the US received DVD cop[ies of the series finale three weeks before its official broadcast.

"You can imagine how much I hate them. I wish they could go and be fans of something else," Steven Moffat told BBC Radio 5.

A few days ago, the "Doctor Who" season 8 teaser trailer was released and shows the latest incarnation of the Time Lord trapped in the tardiff while explosions surround him.

The unseen villain with a robotic voice then hisses: "I see into your soul Doctor. I see beauty, divinity, hatred!"

According to DigitalSpy, the "Doctor Who" season 8 teaser trailer seems to suggest that the Daleks are returning.
