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.

    There are some comprehensive torrents that just have everything but it’ll take you ages to download it all. I managed to get the entire collection about ten years ago and just added new releases as they dropped.

    Probably Usenet.
    High retention piracy.
    Or you become a member of a private tracker and maybe they have a super collection.

    Have you looked into a Plex Share? Low cost and access to pretty much everything. PM me if you want more info on one.

      Absolutely mate, although I've not had much luck with them having Doctor Who - most only have the modern show if they have Doctor Who at all. Do you have any recommendations?

        Well it looks like a lot of Plex shares got kicked and banned over the weekend so we'll have to wait till the dust settles. It'll probably be emby shares if I had to guess.

    i went to 1337x.to, searched "doctor who" and sorted by size. the largest torrent claims to be the complete classic 26 seasons 1963 - 1989 (I assume you know this but based on your question you might not, do not be torrenting unless you have a VPN turned on)

    Usenet is pretty much the only place where you can find truly everything. Many of the original seasons and episodes are lost media. So you can't actually get everything without a private tracker or Usenet
