I hate region locking. Definitely appears to be the entirety of Genesis of the Daleks as one video in the us…

It’s unavailable in the UK as well.

THE HOME OF WHO! :triumph:

Now you know how the rest of us feel. I can’t stream Who anywhere. I can’t even buy a digital copy of any episodes.

What? Has Disney+ had a falling out with Sweden or something?

Okay. I forgot about that. We can’t stream any of the first 59 years of Who.

Why is it always bloody Genesis of the Daleks. I still remember when they tantalised us with a full repeat rerun from Spearhead onwards, got to the end of Silurians and decided, sod it, let’s just skip to Genesis and then abandon the entire plan.

Ha! That’s not even available in the UK (I’m assuming because we have it on iPlayer).

Wouldn’t be terribly surprised if this was also region locked, but look what they just posted…

Same official channel as the last one, so I figured.

I’m downloading the copies they post, as there’s a good chance they are better quality then the copies I have…

Also, just noticed that they’ve got the classic stories in a playlist:

Spearhead from Space, Genesis of the Daleks, Invasion of the Dinosaurs, and The Happiness Patrol so far.

Solid selection!

Strange they’ve gone for two Three stories before any One, Two, Five, or Six ones though

Yeah, noticed that. I feel like they should either have one more 3 story, to have Jo Grant, or one less, and cover the other classic Doctors first.

For anyone curious, the free classic (region locked) episodes, when downloaded off youtube, become about 1.1 GB webm files which, if reencoded as mkv’s, end up about the same size. They are 1440x1080 and an entire serial in one video, so the size is already pretty good…

Hmm, the Doctor Who: Classic channel has more classic episodes then the Doctor Who one does…
