I just discovered that BritBox has 26 - yes 26 seasons of Doctor Who going back to when it first aired in 1963. There are 695 episodes. That is about 300 hours.

I have never watched the series.

This might be just what I need to get through the next couple of years.

I hope you enjoy it. Like probably most fans of the show, I started out with the classic series and so it's just as important to me as the new series, perhaps even more so. #DoctorWho

it doesn’t include the episodes that don’t exist any more (or the ones with copyright disputes) — you have to go to dailymotion.com for them

Yes, I noticed there are missing episodes. Wiki says 97 episodes from the 1960's no longer exist because the BBC had a 'junking' policy in the 1970's. That's a bummer, but I'm impressed so many have been saved.

the reconstruction teams (and animation teams, though i prefer the recons) have done a fantastic job — watching the ones that no longer exist sounds like it would be hard work, but they are worth it.

All 97 Missing Doctor Who Episodes Explained

The BBC's controversial junking policy led to the loss of over 100 Doctor Who episodes from the 1960s era, with 97 still to be recovered.

The missing episodes are so much fun to listen to. I'm glad that some fans chose to record the audios from these stories and that the BBC decided to release them on audio with linking narration (what we in the blindness community refer to as audio description. There are a few that I still haven't gotten around to hearing yet. #DoctorWho

@dennishoward Also, Xumo Play, Amazon Prime Video and PlutoTV have a streaming #DoctorWho channel. However, I don't believe those channels offer the series on demand and the streams don't necessarily show episodes in order.
