Honestly, I always forget it's available that early! Then it's a nice surprise when it gets to the evening and I remember that we don't necessarily need to wait for the linear broadcast, though. We can just watch it as soon as we finish our dinner. No complaints, and I honestly haven't accidentally seen spoilers ahead of time.
Of course, spoilers haven't really been a huge issue for the first few episodes as they're relatively standalone and didn't have any huge reveals within them relevant to Who lore or the lead characters. Where the early drop might become a problem is when there are big revelations and twists later in the season, for example with Ruby's story or with Mrs Flood (or other ongoing threads which I won't mention here since they may become big spoilery reveals!)
