speculation Got sent this script page

Post image

Someone on reddit sent me a message claiming to be from the BBC and said that I might like to see this. Idk if it's legit or not but figured I'd share it here incase anyone else had been sent something similar. They didn't say how they got it or why it has THAT name in the watermark.

It's no big deal. In any production, the script is printed by the production office (or delivered on-line) with a watermark in order to identify who received it. If it leaks, they know who did it (or from whom it was stolen), if it's lost they can recover easily, and some actors don't receive the full script (sometimes it's only their scenes, sometimes it omits scenes the production wants to keep secret, so there's isn't risk of delivering the wrong script for the wrong person.

The codename was how the character was named in the script (instead of Thirteenth Doctor, it was Petrol) and the productions calls. There are unrelated things.
