London -- The BBC is investigating how an episode of a new production of its classic sci-fi TV series "Doctor Who" was leaked onto Internet file-sharing networks in advance of its debut on U.K. television later this month. "This is a significant breach of copyright which is currently under investigation," a BBC representative told Reuters, adding that "the source of it appears to be connected to our co-production partner," referring to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. The BBC's new 13-episode production of "Doctor Who," which first aired in 1963 and has been off the air since 1989, stars Christopher Eccleston in the title role.
