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.

Everything doesn't exist. There are 97 episodes currently missing. I started watching from the first ep a while back, there was a fair few more missing at the time, but I pretty soon got lost with big chunks missing.

You can use iplayer through a VPN if that's useful to you.

There are fan reconstructions of all the missing episodes, where they used the surviving audio recordings and laid in surviving video clips and John Cura's telesnaps - various scene, set, and costume photos that were taken for continuity. Some reconstructions also use animations or small home-filmed segments.

FWIW mate, very familiar with the missing episodes - largely have copies of the remaining soundtracks. What I'm looking for is a way to watch everything else. iPlayer could be doable in any case, although I'm aware they have a habit of blocking VPNs, so I'd appreciate a method a little more foolproof
