Extraordinarily happy new Doctor Who is up (please no spoilers). That said though, fuck the BBC and their refusal to make anything pre-2005, nor any of the spin-offs available here.

You'd really think they'd make it available, given we've been the only country in the world to have televised every episode at one point, but nope.

And companies wonder why piracy is such a big fucking issue in this country...

2005 was season one. There was no Doctor Who before then. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

On a more helpful note, I don't know whether you can get older content on Blu Ray in the UK, but if you can, they're the same Blu Ray region as us. I've imported a few Blu rays from the UK, and they work fine here.

Indeed, got my Torchwood collection that way. Might do some digging, see how much I can get a hold of. Thanks mate :)
