PLUTO TV is a US-based 24/7 online service; founded in 2013, it is currently owned by Viacom.
The free - but ad-supported - streaming service is currently only available in the United States.
Doctor Who on Pluto TV
In April 2019 it was announced that Pluto TV had acquired the rights to Doctor Who, with the service streaming a selection of over 200 episodes from the "Classic" series (the first seven Doctors only) - all for free on a special "pop-up" channel. (The episodes would air with 'close-captioning / subtitles.)
In the initial press announcements, these were some of the stories that would be made available:
- The Dalek Invasion of Earth
- Terror of the Autons
- Planet of the Spiders
- The Ark in Space
- The Deadly Assassin
- The Robots of Death
- Earthshock
- The Caves of Androzani
On 12 June 2019, Doctor Who Channel 77 became available for the first time.
Since its launch, serials have been added to the selection on a random basis; the ones we know of so far are:
- Doctor Who and the Silurians (remastered colourised version)
- Terror of the Autons
- The Three Doctors
- The Monster of Peladon
- Planet of Evil
- The Masque of Mandragora
- The Deadly Assassin
- The Robots of Death
- The Talons of Weng-Chiang
- Image of the Fendahl
- The Power of Kroll (so far the only one from the Key to Time series)
- Destiny of the Daleks
- City of Death
- Full Circle
- Logopolis
- Earthshock
- The Caves of Androzani
- The Two Doctors
- Time and the Rani
- The Curse of Fenric
with more to come over the coming months.
We can only hope that they show The Sun Makers - then we'll see the Doctor on Pluto on Pluto!
