Unfortunately the BBC has decided Australia doesn't get to watch any Doctor Who that was released before 2005 or is a spin-off. So uh, anyone got a plex share or torrent with the lot? Immediate preference is getting the same versions as what is available on iPlayer in the UK, but would settle for DVD rips if that's what's available.

There are some comprehensive torrents that just have everything but it’ll take you ages to download it all. I managed to get the entire collection about ten years ago and just added new releases as they dropped.

Definitely great news that they exist, what would you say my best bet for tracking them down is? Megathread is pretty quiet on this matter

Yeah. The one I did may not exist anymore but they are others. I think I just used a lot of web searches.

It's possible they're cached on one of the debrid services.

Have you looked into a Plex Share? Low cost and access to pretty much everything. PM me if you want more info on one.

[–] Dalek_Thal@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely mate, although I've not had much luck with them having Doctor Who - most only have the modern show if they have Doctor Who at all. Do you have any recommendations?

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Well it looks like a lot of Plex shares got kicked and banned over the weekend so we'll have to wait till the dust settles. It'll probably be emby shares if I had to guess.

i went to 1337x.to, searched "doctor who" and sorted by size. the largest torrent claims to be the complete classic 26 seasons 1963 - 1989 (I assume you know this but based on your question you might not, do not be torrenting unless you have a VPN turned on)

Probably Usenet.
High retention piracy.
Or you become a member of a private tracker and maybe they have a super collection.

FYI - UK BBC iPlayer has everything on it now. From the first doctor to all spin offs.

[–] Dalek_Thal@aussie.zone 5 points 11 months ago

Very true, but I'm in the wrong country and VPNs are inconsistent at best with iplayer

Afraid that article is only true in the US and Canada - in Australia there's no sign of Classic Doctor Who anywhere
