Amazon mistakenly streamed an unreleased episode of Doctor Who

BBC Studios 2018

Amazon mistakenly streamed an unreleased episode of Doctor Who. All Amazon users who opened the stream Doctor Who’s latest episode, “Kerblam!” spending more time watching the episode before taking out. Instead of releasing the right episode, Amazon Prime Video evidently skipped ahead and show “The Witchfinders,” which was set to air this coming Sunday.

This mistake was spotted by io9, who also confirm that the closed captions for “Kerblam!” was mistakenly aired as part of “The Witchfinders”. This is surely a shocking mistake for anyone trying to make sense of why conveyor belts have anything to do with the 17th century.

According to a statement from io9, BBC Studios said it was aware of the error for US Amazon Prime users. io9 said, “We are investigating how this happened and have taken the steps to remove it.” “BBC Studios would like to apologize if anyone’s enjoyment of the series has been spoiled by this mishap,” the company explained further.

Sarcastically, “Kerblam!” is about a not so subtle imitation of Amazon. The company has since corrected the mistake, so everybody can now return to their regularly scheduled work.
