Game of Thrones fans are currently indulging in a big chunk of the new season after the first four episodes leaked online.
It's a huge blow for US television network HBO, which is scheduled to air the first episode of Season 5 tonight. UK audiences will get their first (legal) screening of the premiere at 9pm tomorrow on Sky Atlantic.
The news comes just a week after Game of Thrones producer Greg Spence told The Denver Post that he was worried about potential leaks. "The cast is looping all over the world, sending files back and forth," he said. "Artists are working in special-effects houses all over the world. The files are watermarked, and editors have to confirm in writing that they've deleted them."
This will be the first season that Game Of Thrones author George RR Martin has not written an episode for the show as he is concentrating on completing the sixth novel in his series, The Winds Of Winter.
