I said it was from my TV - I took the picture 2 minutes ago

Yeah weird. When I just Googled Doctor Who Classic it comes up as saying Disney+ but what it clearly means is that current Doctor Who is on D+, but clearly some sources are blending the two unintentionally. It's reasonably rare I suppose for a TV show to be so distinctly split into 'versions' as Doctor Who is so I'm sure a lot of search engines don't know how to differentiate.

But it's never been on D+ which was the initial point, nor is 'NuWho' on iView or D+, that's on Stan, as you pointed out before. I just had a look and Pluto TV isn't available in Aus so don't think there's any way to watch it.

Stan, incidentally, used to have a limited set of Classic Who stories, and may still? I don't have Stan at the moment.
 
ABC iView currently has Seasons 2, 4, 5 and 6 of NuWho (Tennant & Smith), plus the following specials:
  • A Christmas Carol
  • Planet of the Dead
  • Voyage of the Damned
  • The Next Doctor
  • The Waters of Mars
  • The End of Time

... none of which helps the poor bastard trying to track down Peter Davidson episodes from the Classic Who era.

Interesting, thought the last time I checked it that it had all been removed. Stand corrected.
 
Best not to rely on streaming.

Download some torrents - or buy DVDs - and keep them for life instead of some temporary streaming deal.

The Classic Series Collection Blu Ray box sets are the best/definitive way to watch Classic Who.

Can't wait for season 25 set to come out in a few weeks time !
 
Agree.

Davison gets some underrated stories; kinda, the visitation, Earthshock enlightenment, frontios, planet of fire. Caves of Androzani is a classic. My second favourite.
I disagree with this, those stories are generally highly rated.

Problem is there is so much crap elsewhere over his 3 seasons, the middle one in particular.

Incredibly disappointing given how it was capable of great things when it ocassionally all come together.
 
I'm nearing the end of season 20 at the moment and finding it a lot more enjoyable than 19 on the whole. I know Terminus gets a lot of hate but it's actually quite well-written, merely let down by some questionable design choices. Arc is pretty bad and I remember King's Demons as being very underwhelming but nothing as excruciating as Four to Doomsday, Black Orchid or Time-Flight. Peter and Janet have settled into their roles a lot more too.

Kinda and Earthshock are exceptional but the rest of Season 19 is a bit gruelling for me.

Fair bump that.

Frontios and Planet of fire are underrated.

The concept behind Terminus is very good. The problem isn’t the story, it’s the acting, the costumes, the plot basically writing out Tegan and Turlough and the supporting characters.

It’s a big missed opportunity. Pretty sure there were strikes on across the country and from memory Davison was getting a bit frustrated with things.
