I saw someone call Doctor Who (2005-) “lost media” because it got removed from streaming in the US, and no. Absolutely it is not.

It is inaccessible via streaming in that specific region. We still have it. It exists. On DVDs. On Blu rays. In digital libraries. In archives. On streaming in other countries. In the hands of thousands of people who own physical copies. Nothing about that is lost.

This is especially baffling coming from the Doctor Who fandom, a fandom that contains one of the most well known and well documented cases of actual lost media. There are episodes of Doctor Who that genuinely do not survive. No master tapes. No home recordings. No official copies. Entire stories that exist only as audio, telesnaps, or reconstruction efforts because the video is gone.

That is what lost media means.

Calling New Who lost media because it is not currently available on a streaming service in your country muddies that distinction and makes the term meaningless. It erases the reality of material that is truly gone and cannot be recovered in full.

There is a real conversation to be had about accessibility, regional licensing, and the increasing fragility of streaming based media access. But that is a different conversation. Inconvenient to access is not the same thing as lost.

Please do not flatten those concepts into the same thing.

Dear BBC

It seems that you don't have any money, probably due to the Tories or something. Luckily I have a solution to this problem.

Putting CGI in Doctor Who is expensive but you know what isn't? Asking all your staff to bring in their recycling bins and buying lots of paint.

The Welsh quarries are calling BBC. Disney betrayed you, didn't they? You don't need to worry about them when you use an old shower curtain as a costume.

We don't mind. Our eyes bled when we saw a CGI judoon. We physically retched at some of the environments you placed Doctor Who in.

But we're still watching episodes from the 1970s, aren't we?

Give us cardboard, give us plasterboard, give us foam, give us plastic, give us natural light, give us piles of rubble, give us silver paint, give us props the actors can interact with

"Worst Doctor is-" Stop! How dare you!? There are NO bad Doctors actually, only bad writers that misuse them. All versions of The Doctor is Bestest Doctor. Whenever I see a bad episode it makes me so sad because it's literally DOCTOR ABUSE. take better care of your Doctor ffs. They need enrichment and hijinks!

modern who: fuuuuck we want to do all of these cool things but we only have 8 45-minute episodes to work with... let's just edit it like a TikTok and remove all the breathing room and character development

classic who: fuuuuck this story has to be six episodes? We already padded it so much to get it to four... fine I guess we can add a subplot where they have to get K-9 neutered
