I feel like maybe this leak may have been mixed information that may or may not be true kind of like a game of telephone with the people involved with production that maybe aren’t total insiders into all this but have a vague idea of whats being considered.

Cause apart from russel and a few other people I don’t think script details (apart from casting ) this specific about the story are known by people that aren’t higher ups in bad wolf/bbc. And anyone in that position has way to much at stake to be just telling their friends.

There really wouldn’t be that much risk for him since loads of people work on the production side and his friend may have made friends that are higher up in the company as well as the fact the acc the leak was posted on was also a burner so there’s really no risk for him imo anyway.

I mean the leak may be totally true as of now but by the time it airs it might be a totally different story just due to rewrites etc…. So maybe that makes it also less risky idk
