Tavia Yeung, Raymond Lam and Bobby Au Yeung's Men with No Shadows is currently airing on TVB. Unexpectedly the content of unbroadcast episodes surprisingly shows up on a Mainland website. The incident alarmed TVB executives who expressed a thorough investigation is to be conducted.

Producer Poon Ka Tak said frankly TVB has already started investigation into the issue. According to the company's regular operations, series are directly given to TVBI (TVB International) for overseas release and would request that TVBI release the episodes either simultaneously with the HK broadcast or later than the HK broadcast. However, it is hard to avoid 'gaps' in the entire procedure.

TVB Deputy Director of Foreign Affairs (Tsang Sing Ming) said without hesitation that for convenience, TVB usually hands over the series to TVBI early. But originated from the same corporation, TVB and TVBI never had trouble in their collaboration and it's rare for mistakes. Since this kind of incident happened to several grand productions, TVB will conduct a thorough investigation.

Men's lead actress Tavia Yeung was asked about the issue. She frankly said there are a lot of fans in Mainland that told her they already seen unbroadcast episodes even before HK gets to see it. She said: "There will be an impact more or less, but its inevitable. Even if we tried to investigate, nothing may be found. I hope HK audience will support us by following the HK broadcast schedule."

Lead actor Bobby Au Yeung was promoting for another classic series airing on TVB Pay Vision last night and regarding the plagairism accusations, he sincerely invites viewers to watch 10 more episodes before making any judgements.
