who are you?

i’ve noticed a lot more throw backs to classic who that i can remember lately and i want to remind myself of the plot lines - also enjoying your reviews!

Hello!

I watch as much as possible using my own DVDs.

For things like the fanmade reconstructions of missing episodes: they're floating around the Internet. I think someone put them all up on archive.org. They're of dubious legality but, as far as I know, no one at the BBC has ever objected to their existence.

If you're in the US, classic Who is free to stream on Tubi (there's an app for that too). They have individual seasons and also a livestream loop (Deadly Assassin is playing at the moment!). It's also on Pluto TV but in a channel format where they just show random episodes on a loop with ad breaks. Everything but An Unearthly Child is up on BBC iPlayer now (I think) so if you're in the UK that's a good option. There's Britbox too for the US, UK, and Canada but that requires a subscription (as far as I know). If you're not in the US, UK, or Canada, you're out of luck for the moment (or need a good VPN).

There are other, more legally dubious options if you've the bandwidth and hard drive space, of course :-)

In times like this, we could all use a little humor in our lives.
