    It's now become such a complete pile of shit that it's not even worth torrenting.

    Blueshirt, can you confirm?

    But you will still sit down and watch it!!!

    But there's no need to torrent anything if you're on Usenet. The
    new episodes of Doctor Who will be uploaded to
    alt.binaries.drwho at some stage over the weekend, like they
    always are.

    However, I can access the BBC iPlayer via my VPN, plus the US
    version of Disney+ can be accessed with a VPN too. I also have
    BBC1 naturally if I wanted to wait and watch the episodes
    tomorrow evening on broadcast. So getting to watch the new
    episodes was never going to be an issue for me. Doctor Who being
    added to the RTE Player in Ireland just means more viewers.

    How can he review the episodes? He has made the following
    statements here in plain English...

    1) Doctor Who finished in 2017.

    2) Only homosexuals and transvestites can watch it.

    So to be consistent and not look hypocritical, Agamemnon can't
    watch those episodes tonight... as the show doesn't exist to
    watch and Agamemnon claims to not be homosexual or a
    transvestite.

    The minute he reviews those episodes here he becomes the Fake
    Doctor...

    It'd be easier - and cheaper - to subscribe to Disney+ for a
    month or get a VPN service, than subscribe to a Usenet service
    that carries binaries... let alone explain to you about indexers
    and NZB's, etc.

    being available.

    And this year?

    The deal was done this year I'd say, probably following
    complaints to the BBC from Irish Doctor Who fans re the
    streaming plans for the new season. (Which excluded Irish
    viewers from the midnight streamings.) The four 2023 Doctor Who
    'specials' were added to the RTE Player service in February, yet
    were broadcast months earlier. So I assume adding them was also
    part of the deal. Although the RTE Player carries some BBC
    programmes just as the BBC iPlayer in the UK carries some RTE
    made programmes. So there is clearly some sort of reciprocal
    agreement between them.

    A recent deal seems the most logical scenario anyway, as RTE
    were never mentioned in the original streaming announcements, it
    was always just the BBC and Disney+.
