'Doctor Who' scripts leak to tabloid

Spoilers for two new episodes of BBC show Doctor Who have been leaked to The Sun.

The paper claims to have received scripts for episodes nine and ten of the new series, with BBC chiefs "fuming" over the leak.

An insider revealed that producers had been desperate to keep the show's secrets under wraps, saying: "Bosses are fuming - this is the last thing they would want to happen."

The episodes comprise a double bill due to air on BBC One in early summer and sees the Doctor and sidekick Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) travel to the 51st Century.

Ironically the library contains many books that give away SPOILERS about people’s life stories.
ER star Alex Kingston also stars as an astronaut-cum-archaeologist called Professor River Song. The library is full of sinister things such as dead bodies, “data ghosts”, the Suit Creature and the dreaded Vashta Nerada “piranhas of the air – shadows that melt the flesh”.

In later scenes, the Doc and Donna get separated and she ends up in a mysterious hospital where she meets another Doctor – Doctor Moon.
All the while she is trying to work out what is going on and what has happened to her Doctor.

Former ER actress Alex Kingston also appears in the special as an astronaut-archaeologist called Professor River Song.
