The Yeti: Lost?

Stevan Moffat recently (in DWM) joked that the script for his Christmas Special had vanished. This was, confirmed later in the issue, a joke made by Moffat as a rubbish excuse for not having finished it yet, and that's why he couldn't write Production Notes as he had to type it from memory.

So, naturally, the tabloids have spun it into a story:

Filming for the DOCTOR WHO Christmas (10) special has been thrown into jeopardy after the top-secret script reportedly went missing.

Executive producer and lead writer Steven Moffat is facing a race against time to create a new draft before filming commences next month (Jul10), according to Daily Star Sunday.

The writer reveals, "It's a flashback Christmas special."

Matt Smith currently stars at the Time Lord in the popular sci-fi show.

This is not true.
 
Neither is the bit about the flashback, come to it: that was stated way back when Moffat was joking about the universe exploding, as The Big Bang being real. Does anybody reporting this actually read DWM?
