PLUTO TV is a US-based 24/7 online service; founded in 2013, it is currently owned by Viacom.
The free - but ad-supported - streaming service is currently only available in the United States.
Doctor Who on Pluto TV
In April 2019 it was announced that Pluto TV had acquired the rights to Doctor Who, with the service streaming a selection of over 200 episodes from the "Classic" series (the first seven Doctors only) - all for free on special "pop-up" channels (channels 77, 360, 370). (The episodes would air with 'closed-captioning / subtitles.)
In the initial press announcements, these were some of the stories that would be made available:
- The Dalek Invasion of Earth
- Terror of the Autons
- Planet of the Spiders
- The Ark in Space
- The Deadly Assassin
- The Robots of Death
- Earthshock
- The Caves of Androzani
On 12 June 2019, Doctor Who Channel 77 became available for the first time.
Since its launch, serials have been added to the selection on a random basis, with the menus displaying them in no particular order - for example, The Curse of Fenric was immediately followed by The Ark in Space.
The ones we know of so far are:
- The Tomb of the Cybermen
- Doctor Who and the Silurians (remastered colourised version)
- Terror of the Autons
- The Three Doctors
- The Monster of Peladon
- Robot
- The Ark in Space
- The Sontaran Experiment
- Revenge of the Cybermen
- Planet of Evil
- Pyramids of Mars
- The Masque of Mandragora
- The Deadly Assassin
- The Robots of Death
- The Talons of Weng-Chiang
- Image of the Fendahl
- The Invasion of Time
- The Pirate Planet
- The Power of Kroll
- Destiny of the Daleks
- City of Death
- Full Circle
- Logopolis
- Earthshock
- The Caves of Androzani
- The Mark of the Rani
- The Two Doctors
- Time and the Rani
- The Curse of Fenric
with more to air over the coming months. We can only hope that they show The Sun Makers - then we'll see the Doctor on Pluto on Pluto!
On 4 July 2019, Pluto's Channel 370 screened a special Classic Doctor Who Marathon featuring just fourth Doctor stories ("Celebrate the 4th .. with the Fourth Doctor! All day...")
