The production team for 'Doctor Who' Season 8 has recently been under a lot of pressure, especially now that much of the plot for the new installment has been leaked online.

The hit BBC sci-fi series is set to broadcast this August for the already eager and avid fans of the show, and this time around, Peter Capaldi will be taking over the lead role as the 12^th doctor.

However, the bad news is that spoilers concerning the upcoming episodes are currently rampant online, which runs the risk of ruining Season 8 for many viewers.

Previous reports claim that the first five episodes of the new 'Doctor Who' Season 8 were accidentally leaked online via BBC's Head Office in Miami. This would normally be devastating for a popular TV series, as it would decrease fan based interested in the show.

However, many of the avid viewers of the popular program have decided to stay away from the spoilers, to embrace the full impact of the show's new season.

BBC Worldwide has already issued a formal apology for the leakage, and said that they are investigating the reasons behind the incident. They have also encouraged 'Doctor Who' fans who've gotten their hands on the spoilers to keep them to themselves. Additionally, to show some support, fans have been using the #keepmespoilerfree hashtag on their social media posts.
