FTA-TV Doctor Who

[SM]

If you're old enough to have seen the first Doctor on the ABC when his episodes weren't repeats, you would've been able to see the entire Troughton era -- the ABC showed every story.

They did skip a couple of Pertwee stories due to censorship issues, until they were included in repeat runs in the 1980s.

I very clearly was talking about repeats, which is why I said "closest" I came.

If I haven't seen the episodes before and they're airing nightly I don't see a massive distinction between them being new or repeats.
