Makers of the BBC One drama The Night Manager are working hard to remove online copies of two episodes from the series.

The final two shows of the six part series were leaked online ahead of their scheduled broadcasts.

The Sunday night drama which stars Tom Hiddleston has been reaching an average audience of almost six million people.

It's believed to have happened after some customers who'd pre-ordered a DVD of the series, then posted it online.

They'd received their copies weeks before they were due. Newsbeat has tried to contact Sony, who released it, for a comment.

The show reportedly cost around £20 million to make, and after its initial success this leak will not be welcome news.

Elizabeth Debicki, who appeared in The Great Gatsby, is also in it along with David Harewood who you're probably more used to seeing in Homeland.

The Night Manager is due to be aired in the US this April.
