Matt Smith's Doctor Who exit storyline was tweaked to leave the Time Lord limbless after the 31-year-old star sustained a real-life injury to his leg, a newspaper report has claimed.
Plot details for the Doctor Who Christmas special episode titled The Time of the Doctor also reveal that scenes filmed for the regeneration of Smith's character into Peter Capaldi's incoming 'Thirteenth Doctor' are the most thrilling in the show's history.
Other spoilers claimed by The Sun include how the Doctor is drawn back to Trenzalore - the planet he knows will bear his grave - when he hears a bell tolling throughout the universe and how he loses a leg.
Only Fools And Horses star Tessa Peake-Jones and Hustle actor Rob Jarvis are said to be joining previously-announced Orla Brady in the cast.
And although Cybermen foes have already been confirmed for the Doctor's final battle, further enemies are reported - as is the solution to the ultimate Who riddle.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "Doctor Who Christmas is a special moment for fans and while there's still huge amounts to be revealed it is disappointing to see any spoilers, whether true or untrue, running in national press ahead of the episode."
