Doctor Who… Xmas Special in 2026

You're thinking of streaming rights, currently Disney has those rights for the episodes they helped with. The pervious seasons streaming rights were on HBOMax but that ended back in july. Currently only Classic Who is streaming for free on services like Tubi/PlutoTv.

Yeah, it's really annoying. We wanted to introduce the show to our kids recently, and ended up having to buy the DVDs (just 9, 10 and 11. My wife never liked 12, and neither of us have seen 13).

This has been fantastic. I have been catching up on Old Who I had never seen before starting with Doctor One going forward in order and currently I am in the first season of Doctor Five. I had seen everything Netflix had on DVDs before that service went away, but there were big gaps.

I'll note this don't apply to the UK before some one points it out

Right. What I'm getting at is that it would be pretty annoying if the BBC makes a deal with, say, Netflix for new seasons and the old stuff (both classic and revival), but Netflix ends up with a two-season gap because of long-term Disney contracts.
