"The announcement the BBC will move the global streaming of
Doctor Who from
free to air channels to Disney+ will change the viewing habits for millions of
people internationally.
In Australia,
Doctor Who will be removed from the ABC, in New Zealand from
TVNZ, and in America from BBC America.
According to reports, the BBC and Disney+ are thrilled with the deal. The
show’s chief writer Russell T. Davies has said this new relationship will allow
the show to “launch the TARDIS all around the planet, reaching a new generation
of fans while keeping our traditional home firmly on the BBC in the UK.”
But what about the traditional homes
Doctor Who has in other countries, which
often kept rare
Doctor Who episodes safe which the BBC discarded in the
1970s, before the BBC began archiving the videotapes of their old black and
white programs. Now the BBC keeps everything, but once wiped or threw out tapes
when they thought the programs had no further value."
