Somebody is getting fired at HBO Spain

They’ve faced down a number of leaks over the last few weeks, and then HBO manage to spoil all their good work by accidentally broadcasting the sixth episode of Game of Thrones a full five days early.

HBO Spain is reported to have accidentally aired the still untitled penultimate episode of the current run of seven episodes, with clips posted online showing various scenes.

We’re not going to spoil it by telling you what happens – we’re sound like that – but this Reddit thread shows a number of (since deleted) links to the show.

According to Pedestrian.TV, an Instagram user called @afaga23 was streaming the episode live but the social media police were quick to shut it down.

You can expect to hear of a Red Wedding-style cull at the Spanish HBO headquarters any minute now.
