Happy Anniversary to the New Series!
It was one year ago (the weekend of March 5th and 6th) that the new series was made available to and watched by fans worldwise, when Rose was leaked onto to the internet by a Canadian fan. Ironically, the date that this happened is also the date on which Rose takes place, according to the “Missing” posters that can been seen in Aliens of London. The leak gave fans a chance to experience the new series, the new Doctor and gave the show a ton of publicity, leading to many industry insiders calling it the best thing that could have happened to the new series prior to its initial transmission.
Season 27 turned out to be a massive, un-paralleled success and it all started one year ago. Time for a well-deserved celebration for one of the great dates in Doctor Who history, March 5th 2005!

Whatever happened to the guy who leaked it after he lost his job?
I hope his life is back on track by now.

Presumably he started looking for a new job. Down at Gallifrey it was funny to hear certain guests suggest that he was now in jail.
If nothing else March 5th is a date that proves to the BBC, Doctor Who Magazine and British fans in general that Canada does indeed exist.
