tessaray June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 I know talk has been floating around about Classic Who coming to Pluto TV but it's finally here. When I looked yesterday Planet of the Spiders was playing. I'm not sure I like the way they are all over the map with what series they show but I can see watching once in awhile. And it's free, so there's that. https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/pluto-tv-adds-a-24-7-classic-doctor-who-channel-antique-roadshow-channels-from-the-bbc/ https://pluto.tv/live-tv/doctor-who-classic 1 Link to comment

Lantern7 June 27, 2019 Share June 27, 2019 Music? Spoken word? Both? In other news, Sean Pertwee hints that Doctor Who may have approached him. Would he pop up as a original character? Or would he follow his father Jon in playing the Third Doctor? If you've never seen him (particularly as Alfred Pennyworth in Gotham), there's more than a passing resemblance. 2 Link to comment

I didn’t know some of these people can sing assuming they can As for Sean, he has apparently said in the past that he doesn’t want to play the 3rd Doctor, but he wouldn’t be against doing something on the show Link to comment

Llywela June 28, 2019 Share June 28, 2019 I haven't seen much that Sean Pertwee has been in, but I remember a few years ago he played a guest role in The Musketeers, and I was fairly blown away by how strongly he channelled his dad for the role. If anyone could pull off the 3rd Doctor, it's him. But I agree that he'd more likely play a new character, if he guested in Doctor Who. 1 Link to comment

tessaray August 1, 2019 Share August 1, 2019 So, I don't feel bad now about buying the 9/10/11 Doctors on dvd recently (to replace my digital dvr rips). There's definitely still a use case for physical media - especially when streaming rights go to services that I have no interest in subscribing to. https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/doctor-who-hbo-max-streaming-rights-1203288093/ Quote HBO Max is stepping into the world of Time Lords, sonic screwdrivers and the TARDIS. The forthcoming WarnerMedia streaming platform has acquired the exclusive streaming rights to “Doctor Who,” with all 11 seasons of the historic BBC series coming to the service upon launch in spring 2020. The news comes as part of a deal with BBC studios which means the streamer will be the home of future “Doctor Who” seasons after they air on BBC America. 1 Link to comment

But at least it will still have a streaming home. For me, it means I have to finish streaming Tennant and Smith’s eras on Amazon Prime before Spring of next year. I’m still on the fence about subscribing to any streaming service beyond my original Big 3 of Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. Also interesting that this deal includes a lot of other British shows on the BBC. But it doesn’t include Classic Who, which is still on the US version of Britbox I guess Edited August 1, 2019 by DanaK 1 Link to comment
tessaray August 1, 2019 Share August 1, 2019 I appreciate the coverage major shows get when they move services these days. I don't miss going to Netflix and finding my show will disappear in a week or so. Prime was even worse, shows would just disappear - there one day, gone the next. I do wish all the Doctors were together on one service though. Link to comment
