Unfortunately the BBC has decided Australia doesn’t get to watch any Doctor Who that was released before 2005 or is a spin-off. So uh, anyone got a plex share or torrent with the lot? Immediate preference is getting the same versions as what is available on iPlayer in the UK, but would settle for DVD rips if that’s what’s available.

    Funny thing mate, I’m hoping to create a master collection precisely because I’m the kind of nerd who enjoys the reconstructions - huge fan of the audios and novels, so I absolutely think I’m goimg to follow your suggestions around starting points and go from there. Largely it’s not strictly for a “complete rewatch”, moreso it’s about wanting to be able to read/watch/listen to pretty much everything on my own terms

      There’s actually quite a lot of the supplemental stuff (Tardisodes etc.) just hanging around on YouTube, many of them sorted into helpful playlists, which I’m not sure if I’m allowed to link to.

      Also for the newer show, I recommend grabbing the torrents from a user called QxR. They’re good quality and most have a folder of featurettes that includes Confidential and various behind the scenes stuff that I was having a hard time finding. I definitely can’t link directly to that but they should be easy enough to track down.

      For the older show, there used to be a BIG torrent (like ~250Gb IIRC) with all the existing old episodes in it, but I don’t remember where that came from right now. However, a lot of the old episodes are on the Internet Archive so that might be a good place to start.

          Nah, both posts came through in public. I’ve applied for an aussie.zone account. It’s getting late here anyway, so I’ll head to bed soon and come back tomorrow to see if it’s approved.

          If not (maybe your admin takes weekends off to enjoy the weather!) - I see that your account is five months old, maybe we could PM on reddit? We’ll sort it out tomorrow, anyway :)

            Nah that makes sense mate. I’m afraid I no longer have reddit - nuked it went I moved here on principle, so we’ll just have to have a bit of patience. Have a good one in any case, I’ll chat with you when you can :)

        Chucked it through mate, hopefully it’s working. My instance is Aussie.zone, so should’ve dodged the problem
