Ok... I know that a lot of radio buffs are Whovians out there, and since Iīve been show that Classic Doctor Who channel, on Pluto TV, I might be hard-pressed to get a damn thing done around here late at night.  https://pluto.tv/en/search/details/channels/doctor-who-classic/   From 1963 - 1989, from William Hartnell to Silvester McCoy. And, surprise!!!! Reanimated fill-in episodes of the BBC trashed 79 episodes, where the audio tracks were still saved, and original scripts. What I donīt like is that these are presented in the 30min chapters, instead of the 90min ones that PBS did in the USA in the 70īs and 80īs. Hey... During that 1980īs sci-fi depression, Doctor Who was the great fill-in, back then. There!!!! Now, you too have a reason to not get anything else done.
I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

It's on some other platforms too, I get it through my Roku TV. I discovered it in January. Problem is that it reruns the same stories over and over and over. There are tons of stories from the classic period (and I do mean fully existing stories - Dr. Who being one of the big victims of BBC's wiping policy before the mid 70s) that they haven't aired at all, such as the great "Genesis of the Daleks" or the first Third Doctor serial, "Spearhead From Space" which remains the best one to feature the Autons. Still, there are lots of serials that they are airing including some classics like "City of Death" and "The Caves of Androzani." Though it also serves as a reminder of the path the show took in the 80s that led to its eventual cancellation.

I subbed Brit Box for Classic Who a while back. Don't think the Pluto channel is showing Fifth Doctor stories which would be a shame.

If it's the same channel I'm getting on Roku, then yeah, there are some 5th Doctor stories. Castrovalva, Earthshock, Resurrection of the Daleks, The Five Doctors, and The Caves of Androzani, among others, but not the complete run.
