      Classic Doctor Who Removed From Britbox UK and ITVX Premium
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    Classic Doctor Who, which included episodes broadcast from
    when the series launched in 1963 until it was rested in 1989,
    has been removed by BritBox UK and ITVX (via Premium
    subscription).
     An official reason has not been provided by BritBox at time
    of writing, though it's thought that the streamer has lost
    the rights to keep the show on its platform. Meanwhile, the
    Classic Doctor Who episodes are available to stream now on
    BBC iPlayer.

Obviously the bad feelings from viewers about the new series which has seen the lost of 4/5 of the audience have now rubbed off onto the classic series thanks to the behaviour of Ncuti Gatwa, the perversion of the Timeless Child Monster, and the desire by the show runners to allow the show to be used to sexually groom children.
Why would Britbox and ITV want to throw their money down the toilet? You'd think the BBC would want all episodes on as many platforms as exist. Now for Disney to join them and put an end to The Adventures of the Timeless Child Monster.
