The first episode of the BBC latest Sunday Night drama The Night Manager wowed audiences, bringing in well over eight million viewers followed by even more the week after.

Unfortunately, the numbers may be about to drop as the last episode of the show has reportedly leaked online. According to The Mirror, fans who pre-ordered the series on DVD received their copies early and uploaded them online.

The Tom Hiddleston-starring series cost an alleged £20 million to make, with the leak possibly spelling out "disaster for the BBC" if people flock to download the series, according to the report. A spokesperson for the broadcaster said they are working hard to take down the leaks.

The Night Manager features an all-star cast including Hugh Laurie as protagonist Richard Onslow Roper, Olivia Coleman as Angela Burr and Tom Hollander as Major Lance Corkoran.

Last week, author John Le Carré, who wrote the book on which the TV show is adapted from, made a cameo appearance in the show.
