As the perfect companion to the back catalogue, the BBC will simultaneously launch an extensive online archive from the show’s history at bbc.co.uk/doctorwho, with everything from interviews with cast to written documents, long unheard audio, and behind-the-scenes photos. Together, they tell the story of the ground-breaking series through 60 archive gems for the 60th anniversary.

Episodes from Doctor Who’s extensive back catalogue of classic programmes will join the post 2005 revival of the show, available for fans to watch on iPlayer for the first time, and enabling them to revisit the Doctor’s formative adventures and some of the series greatest moments. This includes First Doctor William Hartnell’s first encounter with the Daleks, the first episodes made for colour TV with Third Doctor Jon Pertwee, and fan favourites from Fourth Doctor Tom Baker’s iconic run, including City of Death and The Brain of Morbius. Also included is the 1996 TV movie with Paul McGann, featuring him taking over from Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy.

Every episode on iPlayer from the back catalogue will be available with multiple accessibility options, including subtitles, audio description, and sign language..."

Doctor Who: Why BBC's WHO-niverse Will Be Missing "An Unearthly Child" / Bleeding Cool

"Earlier this week, we reported on BBC's iPlayer becoming the streaming home in the UK & Ireland for all things Doctor Who. That means classic seasons and post-2005 revival seasons – meaning 800+ episodes in total. And that includes the 1996 FOX TV film that saw Sylvester McCoy regenerate into Paul McGann. When it comes to spinoffs, specials, and other extras, fans can also look forward to The Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood, Class, behind-the-scenes series Doctor Who Confidential, and more – as well as an archival website of the show's past sixty years. But what they won't be getting is the late writer Anthony Coburn's episodes – the first four Doctor Who episodes – according to Coburn's son, Stef Anthony Coburn, on social media. And he doesn't mince words when it comes to the reason why…"

Money, of course!!
