The BBC has confirmed that Doctor Who's first story, An Unearthly Child, won't be included in the back catalogue of episodes hitting iPlayer this November.

...

A spokesperson for the BBC said: "This massive iPlayer back catalogue will be home to over 800 hours of Doctor Who content, making it the biggest ever collection of Doctor Who programming in one place but will not include the first four episodes as we do not have all the rights to those."

From 1st November, fans will be able to watch hundreds of episodes from 1963 to the present day, across the show's classic and modern runs.

Not only that, but various spin-off series will also return to iPlayer – including The Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood, Class and behind-the-scenes series Doctor Who Confidential.

The Radio Times has a guide to how to watch it, which, in summary is:

DVD boxset
Britbox
Amazon Prime
Apple Store

Another good argument for !homevideo@feddit.uk.
