Something I just thought I’d point out that I noticed while organizing my downloads.
All of Season 17 and Season 9’s episodes were, in fact, already uploaded individually, so the livestreams aren’t really adding any additional content so far.
Which does mean, if, like me, you have a script set up to download everything from the playlist using yt-dlp, which is pretty easy to do, you’re getting the episodes downloaded twice…
Another livestream tomorrow.
I suspect these episodes were all up individually already…
And there’s a livestream of season 22 going on…
Think they are just doing the season livestreams now. Though they stay up after it stops being live.
Incidentally, my general prediction would be that the next two livestreams will be seasons 15 and 25, not necessarily in that order. After that, there aren’t any seasons they could livestream without having episodes in them they haven’t posted. (Though seasons 2 and 20 are both one serial away from being fully posted, so maybe they’ll upload the missing serials from those and livestream the season. There are some seasons, like 3 and 13, that they haven’t posted any serials from…)
They have added all New Who seasons up until s12 to the free app Pluto. At least here in Sweden. It looks like it is only the regular seasons, not the specials.
Funny thing is that if I pull up Pluto’s website, what I’m seeing here is just classic Doctor Who, as well as K9…
I did come across a streaming website that does have new Doctor Who on it, but when their FAQ goes: “<redacted> is not technically a legal site”… yeah, not sharing that one.
It’s not on UK Pluto unsurprisingly.
Doctor Who Unleashed for the 60th episodes was released yesterday on the official YouTube channel:
You can’t get these episodes on the iPlayer anymore, so this is a nice surprise!
Another DW Unleashed
Hmm, yeah, the playlist does say 9 hidden videos, doesn’t it?

Yeah, this is probably a daily thing now. I wonder if Season 2 will drop on YT directly this time.
Could be that the BBC gets exclusivity for a year or so?
I think they are added to YT after they’ve been on the iPlayer for a while. It is a BBC-produced show after all, so they’d want their audiences to see the episodes first. And they have the separate behind the scenes video on YT anyway.
Remember my prediction on the next two live streams?
March 15th, 10 am (Pacific time, I guess?)
my favorite rtd2 episode!
