This is actually hilarious. Some reality defying mental acrobatics on current Doctor Who are picked up from fan forums and passed on by IGN:

Doctor Who's latest episode just called out its own leaks, despite being film two years ago. Is showrunner Russell T Davies seeding spoilers to mess with fans, or is this all part of a grand plan?

Is this part of someones grand plan or is it part of a grand plan? I don't think these are two separate questions.

I think the "grand plan" is somebody's attempt at making causation after the fact in things that are at best correlations 🙂 Is that somebody in charge of the show? Nope!

More likely they're on an online echo chamber whipping up a collective delusion that the showrunner has the time and acumen to orchestrate a big ARG in which they, the hardcore fans, are the heroes...

I know this community isn't big on speculation, but I find it really interesting to observe others' wildly out of proportion speculations 😄
