The problem with Netflix is that they don’t have permanent rights to any of the films and shows on there (apart from their own creations like House of Cards and Arrested Development 4 of course) and they don’t like to tell anyone how long is left on any given show. So when almost all the classic Doctor Who Netflix episodes were suddenly removed from the UK library in April, a lot of subscribers were pretty unhappy and many considered ending their Netflix sub.
While there’s now only a handful of classic Who eps on UK Netflix, there’s still dozens on US Netflix. In fact, the UK Netflix is pretty lousy across the board, especially compared to what’s available in other countries. If only there was a simple, cost-effective way to watch any Netflix title from anywhere in the world…
And there is! There’s a fantastic service called Unblock Us that costs just $4.99 a month (with a free 7 day trial) and gives you access to not just global Netflix, but any website or video service anywhere in the world, from whichever device you like.
And that means that a wealth of classic Doctor Who episodes are suddenly yours to watch again, mostly spread across the US and Canadian Netflix libraries. For an up-to-date list of what classic Who stories are available and where, check out this custom search at MoreFlicks.com then head over to Unblock Us and set your account to the relevant territory – easy peasy.
Welcome back, Doctor – it’s about time!
