Broadcast

Pre-broadcast leak

On 6 July 2014, the scripts for the first five episodes of the series (including "Deep Breath") were inadvertently leaked online from BBC Worldwide's Latin America headquarters, prompting a plea from BBC Worldwide to keep the storylines of the five episodes secret.[9] Also leaked was a black-and-white rough cut of "Deep Breath", missing most of the visual effects but otherwise mostly complete.[10] The BBC blamed the leak on the fact that the files had been stored on a publicly accessible server in its new Miami-based headquarters.[11] Steven Moffat, speaking at the London Film and Comic Con, called the leak "horrible, miserable and upsetting".[12]". Later that month, an internet pirate illegally downloaded the episode, leading to his son spoilering the plot in a youtube video. Several Twitter accounts are campaigning to ban the user from the Internet.

Broadcast

The episode will have its world premiere in Cardiff on 7 August 2014 as part of the series 8 world tour.[13][14] As part of the tour, advance screenings will also be held in Seoul on 9 August and Sydney on 12 August.[15][16] The episode will be simulcast worldwide on 23 August 2014.[4][17]
