A Prequel to Killing Hitler

The BBC have released a prequel to the forthcoming episode Let’s Kill Hitler! which can be found here. Note that this is not a “preview” but rather a short prequel scene - similar to the “Tardisodes” that were done back in 2006 for David Tennant’s first season, except that they are doing them for selected episodes rather than for every single one. Nevertheless, those who don’t want to be “spoiled” for what is to come even by a prequel scene are advised against clicking the link.

The episode is now confirmed be shown on both sides of the Atlantic on August 27th, with the BBC (who held a preview screening of Episode 8 last night, from which the above picture is taken) being the last of the three networks showing it that day (Space and BBC America being the others) to confirm the broadcast date. British fans can breathe easily once again.

Well that doesn’t really say much although of course it’s intriguing.  Can’t wait until Saturday night!
Actually, what I’m more confused about, is how we are able to play this from the BBC site - aren’t they usually blocked outside the UK?
