It's got all existing episodes Doctor Who from 1963 onwards, aside from a few where the joint copyright holders haven't given permission. That's just the ones I can think of offhand. Surely they haven't all been shown in the last year? No. Some shows have infinite streaming rights, others have a 12 month expiry but providing it's repeated linearly it gets another year. 1 Quote
James Martin Posted Friday at 21:35 Report Posted Friday at 21:35 So it's confirmed Seven have the rights to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland (at least they're free to air!) with coverage starting each night at 7pm. However I've noticed that we're catching up very quickly; on Monday we will be just 15 episodes behind Australia ( 8732 & 8717.) We will catch up by another 10 episodes during the Games so that's just another 5 weeks of us airing 5 episodes a week and Australia airing just 4 before we sync up completely! So I'm wondering if we're going to be taking a Summer break this year, or will Channel 5 & RTÉ have to drop their Friday episodes, at least temporarily? Quote

I'm convinced now we will have a summer break. Quote

I hope not, I'd rather we dropped down to 4 a week if we get dangerously close. Whatever happens RTÉ will need to work in tandem with 5, as they're a day behind us. Quote
