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!
