Are the Sylvester McCoy shows out on DVD? I'd really love to see The Happiness Patrol again.
Right. Sir. Honey.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

They are! The Happiness Patrol is available in a boxed set with Dragonfire, called "Ace Adventures". (And I owns it.) Oh, The Happiness Patrol has a fascinating documentary, I think it might be 45 minutes long, about the relationship between Doctor Who and politics.
Edit: in the US it's sold separately, it seems, but it still has the same special features.

If you've got Hulu Plus, they've got tons of the old episodes.

Or your local library may be able to access it.
Hey, would you kids like some drugs? They're free and they're real nice.

How much is Hulu Plus? It may be worth it.
edit: Damn the pusher man.

Well, crap. Josh Friedman, the showrunner behind Sarah Connor Chronicles, had another show lined up with NBC, and the network just axed it. [link]
Pity. I'm not a huge Oz fan, but I would have given it a shot, for Friedman's sake.

Hmmm, Acorn is 4.99 a month. They don't have Doctor Who, but they've got oodles of other Brit TV.

I hadn't realized he was the same showrunner as SCC. That's too bad.

Yep, my comment was on unaired footage and the rest was hedging the bet. Honestly I feel like I can't win whitefont-wise, so I err on the side of caution.
