[@Trev359]

The thing I'm concerned about is if they don't resolve the dispute over An Unearthly Child it will spoil the Blu-Ray season one boxset when that eventually arrives.

[@jarnopp]

Good point Trev! Am certainly hoping it'll all be resolved by then. 🤔

[@nialldemarshwell5566]

I thought the copyright claim was only regarding streaming. Hope I’m not wrong. Although hope they hold off the 60s boxed sets until last.

[@robslater-n1c]

tales of tardis so wonderful , heartbreaking and heart warming how good was katy and dan that spech at end she gave

[@jarnopp]

Sounds good! I need to catch up with them soon. 👊🎃

[@doctorwho101_]

I think those episodes are in the extra section because the whole serial has been animated, including the existing surviving episodes and they put those in the respective seasons

[@jarnopp]

Hey there! Ah yes, that makes sense. So they do that rather than have two versions of the same episode side by side. Cheers! Are you happy with this new array of delights?

[@MightyJonE]

Amazing that the entire Dr Who run is on iplayer. Last time I watched the entire classic run was on the Twitch Dr Who Marathon in spring 2018. It was so much fun with the live chat too. I no longer have a TV licence so sadly won’t be dipping into Dr Who on iplayer, but that’s OK as I did watch that Twitch marathon 😊

[@jarnopp]

Hey Jon! Ah yes, I did hear about that marathon. Must've been quite the experience! 😯👊🎃

[@MightyJonE]

@@jarnopp yes, it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had. A fun community of like-minded people had got together to watch the shows from across U.K., Europe and US, and many of us would be in the chat writing to each other in the day even when the marathon wasn’t broadcasting in the evenings. I think it took something like 3 months, at 7 evenings a week, to get through the classic series. Oh, and then there was the Torchwood marathon at the end. As you might imagine, there were some real characters in the chat 😊 The Classic Dr Who Marathon ran again on Twitch from Jan the following year, but I wasn’t involved in that. Once was fine, i felt the second was too soon. Maybe if it had been a Dr Who reboot marathon, I might’ve turned up for it

[@FishDS9]

Jason, thank you so much for this deep dive on The Whoniverse! I appreciated seeing Sir Pat Stew and the fine editing job you did adding sfx and such. I hope Disney+ has something like this for us in the States.

[@jarnopp]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words. 😊 👊

[@definitelylewis7507]

I've already watched a lot. Tales of the Tardis is a really good jumping off point for someone like me who hasn't seen too much of the classic series and I think they've chosen six really excellent serials for that. Curse of Fenric blew me away. I had no idea classic Who went that hard. And the Three Doctors one, having Clyde and Jo Grant in there book ending that one I found rather nostalgic. It's always nice to see some love given to Sarah Jane Adventures. I may have to give it a rewatch now. And I think I've found my new favourite Doctor in Patrick Trouton. All in all I'm just happy all this stuff is now so easily acceccable. It deserves to be seen.

[@jarnopp]

Hey there! How wonderful to hear from someone who's relatively new to the classic series and is getting well into it! Love that. Glad you're enjoying the Whoniverse already. 👊🎃 Thanks for your TOTT thoughts!

[@richardwilliams5387]

The fact Tennant's return is even somewhat controversial is astounding to me. I saw some using it as "proof" that the BBC was "desperate". Occam's Razor says the most obvious answer is probably correct. Russell loved working with him and the 60th is a celebration of the show's past. Obviously bringing back the favorite "modern" Doctor is a no brainer.

[@jarnopp]

Doctor Who fans who just seem to hate the BBC full-stop do tend to mystify me. :)

[@danielhead8123]

Mostly fandom menace is to blame for the toxicity

[@type40doctorwho]

​@danielhead8123 blame the fans? Siiigh

[@type40doctorwho]

​@@jarnoppdoesn't that depend on whether they're doing a good or bad job? And even more crucially: how they're treating those fans? Taking an exclusionary or adversarial tone with one's own audience is never good move. Makes far less sense. Enjoyed your video Jason. All the best.

[@jarnopp]

Hey there, @@type40doctorwho ! Really glad you enjoyed the video. I know what you're saying, but I think there's a sliding scale of anti-BBC sentiment, right? Feels like there's a vast gulf between fans who rightly protest when the BBC doesn't behave well towards fans... and fans who just seem to resent the BBC full-stop? You know what I mean? 🤔

[@kennybacchus1488]

Classic. Doctor Who. Floods. Iplayer! In. The. Whonivers

[@anthonymusgrave569]

I dreamed of a repository like this when I was a kid. Decades later, here it finally is! Makes me feel old though, as I watched 20th anniversary special‘The Five Doctors’ on its original transmission…. and we’re now only a few weeks from the 60th. I’ve travelled into the future….. very slowly! 😖

[@jarnopp]

Hey Anthony! I know what you mean - I was right there, watching The Five Doctors too! I guess slow forward time travel is at least preferable to the speedy sort. 😆👊

[@Fluttermoth]

I went and had a look, and I was so overwhelmed, I couldn't decide what to watch and left again! I have seen all of classic Who before though, and it's so wonderful to see it all there, I'm looking forward to diving in and rewatching some favourites :)

[@jarnopp]

Hey there! Yes indeed, I know what you mean - the content of the Whoniverse is every bit as overwhelming as the name itself suggests. :) I also have yet to choose anything to watch. 😆

[@beezig]

Finally Doctor Who is getting the treatment it deserves, love the Whoniverse on iplayer, I have a feeling that more content will be added as we go along this anniversary month, good to see you Jason, great upload.

[@jarnopp]

Hey there! Great to see you too. And yes, it feels like both a real labour of love and only the beginning. ☺👊🎃

[@progbloke6655]

This is going to come in very handy when Christmas tv is as unwatchable as ever. Looks like I'll be binge watching the Doc during the festive period !

[@jarnopp]

Hell yes! What fun. Wish I'd remembered to mention in the video how BBC iPlayer has apps, which BritBox never did (as far as I know!) 👊☺

[@AFriendRemembers]

Just showed my kids thebintro and outro to the time warrior (which, coincidentally we watched last month with no clue it would be picked like this) and they loved it! Surprised that the 50th annoversary dramadocumentary of the creation of the show isnt on there. Same rights issues as the unearthly child? Otherwise, looks fantastic. Confused why some episodes of lost stories are in extras whilst others are in main series list however. Thanks for summarising!

[@jarnopp]

Hey there, glad you enjoyed - and that your kids are getting a kick out of The Time Warrior! :) I guess that various docs are missing, but I doubt that'll be the case forever. Good to see I'm not the only one confused about the 'extra' eps! 👊☺

[@Jason_Fisher]

Classic Doctor Who was recently removed from our version of BritBox, which I was a little sad about. Obviously that had to happen so the Whoniverse could be created on BBC iPlayer but the unfortunate issue is those outside the UK won’t have access to that archive of stories. Well, not without a VPN.

[@jarnopp]

Agh, yes, that is a grim consequence that I hadn't considered, Jason! Gutted for you, there. 😫👊

[@ExplosiveAction]

The absolute original version of The Five Doctors has the Cyberman over the hill when spotting the Master go "Aah!" triumphantly. That was scrubbed by the second version of the VHS. We are blocked from iPlayer so I'd be curious to know if it has that little egg in it. Also is The Adventure in Time and Space there? Loved that docudrama

[@jarnopp]

Hey there EA! Have you seen the 40th anniversary edition? I could've sworn I saw the Cyberman say that, "Aah!"

[@ExplosiveAction]

@@jarnopp ooh really? I have not watched that on my new Blu yet. Marvellous if they restored that back in!

[@jarnopp]

​@ExplosiveAction I'm pretty sure they did, because I was really surprised! 😅

[@HOTD108_]

​@@ExplosiveAction I'm 99% sure the Blu-ray collection contains all the different cuts/edits of The Five Doctors with options to use either the original analogue SFX or the newer CGI effects that were made for the DVD, so everyone's happy.

[@marcpaters0n]

I am bang into this. They recently put the whole Red Dwarf back catalogue on too (and as you know, I'm a hardcore Dwarfer) so this is awesome for old skool sci fi nutters like us.

[@jarnopp]

Yes, isn't it great! And now we can watch on actual apps too. Does BritBox have an app? I feel like it does not.

[@marcpaters0n]

@@jarnopp I confess I never jumped on the Britbox bus so I'm over the moon that it's finally on iPlayer.

[@wanderingrandomer]

I haven't ever seen much classic Who; I've only ever watched what was aired in the run-up to the 50th anniversary. I am, however, a HUGE fan of the revived series, so am buzzing to finally see the classics! Modern Who loves to reference the classics, so I know a few things that I've picked up over the years.

[@jarnopp]

Hi! I love that lots of people are now going to have a much greater opportunity to go back and check out classic Who! Love that you're excited about that exploration. 😊👊🎃

[@mikalmos369]

Is the docudrama about the genesis of Doctor Who, "An Adventure in Space and Time" (2013) on there? I think it's especially important for that to be part of the collection now that "An Unearthly Child" isn't.

[@jarnopp]

Hey there, good point! I expect it's just a matter of time before that wonderful film gets added. 🎃👊

[@somerandomguy2073]

I would imagine they're probably going to repeat it at some point this month, then add it to the collection afterwards.

[@jarnopp]

You could well be right there, @@somerandomguy2073 ! 👊🎃

[@kevingibbons6215]

As an American,.. what you did in this video is just what I needed. Like and subscribed.

[@jarnopp]

So glad to hear this, Kevin. Welcome aboard! 🎃👊

[@jamiesworld1690]

Do we know if tge old episodes are upscale or remastered archives or just recording of class

[@jarnopp]

Hey there! Hmm, I don't know. But my guess would be that we would have heard by now if the episodes had been remastered, etc. 🤔

[@dylangoodfellow4778]

Nice they sorted the rights issue that stopped reign of terror from being on britbox . Feel shalka should be there as well even if it’s just under the extras category

[@happyman050]

The Reign of Terror episode 1 is missing on i player at monment for some reason

[@dylangoodfellow4778]

@@happyman050 sure they’ll fix it soon not watched evil or galaxy 4 yet so I’ll give them a watch first

[@happyman050]

Off now to watch the documentary and this years Music concert on BBC4 7.30 pm @@dylangoodfellow4778

[@jarnopp]

Ah yes, I expect we'll see things like Shalka being added at some point! :)

[@jaydemetrick8399]

Curious if they will get the K9 series from Australia. Tales of the TARDIS are lovely. Saw some bits on here.

[@jarnopp]

I need to catch up with TOTT! Good to see ya, Jay! 🎃👊

[@JoeSiegler]

I know WHY it's iPlayer only, but as a fan in the US. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! :)

[@jarnopp]

Hey there Joe! I feel your pain, buddy. :(

Excellent news. I could never get BritBox to work in Ireland

[@jarnopp]

Ah really? That's terrible, isn't it. Glad you're happy! :)

[@richardwilliams5387]

I do hope they expand it or do a version outside of the UK.

[@jarnopp]

Hey Richard! Yes, I think a lot of people would like this to go beyond the UK. 🎃👊

[@rebeccaflutters5179]

I live in Ireland and have no access to the iPlayer. I'm a massive Whovian. I watch these kinds of videos to torment myself honestly lol

[@jarnopp]

Gah! Sorry to hear that, Rebecca. What a pain. Hope it's at least quite a fun kind of torment. 👀🎃👊

[@KajiRider1997]

Its just missing the Peter Cushing movies and new failed K9 show

[@jarnopp]

Would certainly be lovely to have the Cushing movies on there!

another great video!

[@jarnopp]

Thank you Mr Slitheen! 😊👊🎃

@@jarnopp 😁

[@TediousMilkshake]

The Reign of Terror only has five episodes there 🤔

[@jarnopp]

Yes! I didn't notice that at the time. Intrigue ahoy! 🤔

[@Mark-nh2hs]

I see many fans kicking off over The Unearthly Child situation. But let's be real it's only the first episode of that story which is worth watching the other 3 episodes are well rather crap. Also most Who fans will have the story already on dvd lol

[@jarnopp]

Hi Mark! Must admit, it's never been a fave of mine. But we do need it in place ASAP - such a shame that this has happened with the First Ever Story!

[@Mark-nh2hs]

@@jarnopp well if they get the first episode and the pilot I think everyone will be happy. I never seen any cite it as their fav story there maybe people out there but it's normally episode 1 they rave about lol. But I agree with you. But if you have it on dvd your sorted and I bet the price of that dvd story will soar now.

[@garytwinem5275]

I doubt anyone with an uncontrollable lust for some caveman action will have any bother finding it somewhere 😁

[@jarnopp]

Hehe, that's true. It's not as if the serial has blipped out of existence. :)

[@lindseykaine-walley6339]

This is brilliant, rather have this than new Who especially the last era! Classic Who is the best to me.

[@jarnopp]

Isn't it great to just have it available now on all our devices! 👊☺
