I'm halfway through Season Three (1965-1966). I've been so busy lately I haven't watched any further episodes for a while. Maybe I will get to the Jon Pertwee era in a few months. I'm looking forward to it.
I'm a fan of the companions, too. I liked Amy Pond and Clara Oswald from the recent seasons. It will be interesting to see others from the early episodes.
I'm glad I found https://archive.org/. Living in the US, the only time one could see <i>Doctor Who </i> was if one of the local PBS stations ran some episodes during one of their "pledge week" fundraisers. I saw a couple of the Tom Baker episodes this way.
Once I got satellite service I was able to watch BBC America, so I've seen quite a few of the episodes beginning with the season starring David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor. I was unable to see Tennant's return as the Fourteenth Doctor... <i>thanks a lot, Disney!</i>
I am enjoying the William Hartnell episodes. Considering the limited budget and time constraints of the era, these programs are impressive. It's a shame so many of them were destroyed.
Thank you for the explanation. I didn't realize it was that complex. I'm still not happy with Disney getting its greedy hands on the show, even if it only involves distribution.
I'm not sure if I can access the BBC iPlayer. It sounds like more trouble than it's worth. There are enough episodes on the Internet Archive to keep me busy for years.
Thanks, again.
Okay. Thank you for clearing that up. It still does me no good living in the US. I'll stick with the Internet Archives.

The BBC loses the rights to one of its most iconic programs? Unbelievable. Leave it to Disney to destroy a tradition.
Thanks for the information. I don't have HBO nor do I use Disney+ or any streaming service. I consider these to be a waste of money.
Thankfully there is the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/) which has complete seasons, including some reconstructed lost episodes. I'm currently about halfway through the early episodes with the First Doctor (William Hartnell).
You mean global warming. "Climate change" sounds too innocuous for such a devasting phenomenon. I guess people don't want to hear the truth and would rather sweep things under the rug. So they came up with a less-threatening description.
Global warming is ruining Christmas.
December is not a time to be golfing.
I believe this might be more of a European tradition.
Although one time at one of my jobs a group of employees went around caroling inside the company building, stopping at the various departments to perform.
