103 - How to Watch Doctor Who

Editor's note: We recorded this before the Amazon Prime/Crave TV news dropped! Appropriate links below.

We've touched on it before, but in our year of firsts, we thought it worth revisiting--where do you recommend people start watching Doctor Who? And how can folks (especially in the US) find it to watch? Join Deb Erika, and Tansy as we dive deep into both halves of this tricky equation. There are many different strategies to get folks to join us in loving Doctor Who, but there are few ways to watch it--and even fewer now that Hulu and Netflix in the US have lost all DW titles.

How do you start new viewers on Doctor Who? Do you base it on the person, or do you have a go-to story? And where do you recommend they find what you want them to watch? Let us know in the comments!
