"Doctor Who will premiere on Sept. 1 in the UK, but it won't be available on Australian television until Sept. 8. As any Time Lord fan will tell you, one week feels like one year in broadcast time.\nThis delay often leads to unauthorized downloads overseas. But this season, Australian broadcaster ABC TV is taking preventative measures to beat the pirates. It will offer full episodes of Doctor Who online via iview just 50 minutes after it airs in the UK.  \n\"For Doctor Who fans, it is a fantastic opportunity to see new episodes within hours of them premiering in the UK,\" ABC1 Controller Brendan Dahill said in a statement. \"Each episode will be available on iview on Sundays.\"\n\nSEE ALSO: New \u2018Doctor Who\u2019 Trailer Explodes With Daleks and Dinosaurs\nAustralia is notorious for video piracy. An estimated 92 million movies are illegally downloaded each year in the country, costing the Australian economy $1.3 billion, according to a report from the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft. \nForty eight percent of Australians older than 16 have accessed iview, making it the most popular catch-up service in the country. The service's recent iOS app already has more than 400,000 downloads, according to Dahill. \nSeptember's premiere of Doctor Who will be the first time fans have seen the Doctor and his TARDIS since a 2011 Christmas special.
