Eccleston through Whittaker only, it seems. No Tennant 2.0 / Gatwa (DisneyWho). That makes sense. No doubt Disney+ has the exclusive rights to the stuff they co-produced, at least for awhile longer anyway.

Will be interesting to see if they get the Christmas Special.
And Disney are not above selling the rights to things they don't want to show ("Nautilus" being one example) so picking up those episodes is not impossible. In fact, we might end up with a situation where TWB premieres there instead, since Disney clearly don't want to show it.
AMC+ didn't really occur to me as a possibility, but they do have quite a few genre show, although like @bdub76 said, they're mostly horror. I do find a little funny that it's going up there now, after BBC America, which is owned by AMC, has completely separated itself from the British BBC. I believe it used to be owned 50/50 by AMC and the Beeb, but AMC bought the entire thing from the BBC a few years ago and now own it 100%.
AMC is also noted for running British programming. I remember during the pandemic they ran all the seasons of Line of Duty that were released at that time.
While I am pleasantly surprised to see them acquiring Doctor Who, it's not really all that left field when you think about it.

Yeah, I watched the first Matt Smith season back a month or two ago on Hoopla, and I've been working my way through Classic Who on Britbox for at least a couple years now. I started with the beginning of Jon Pertwee's run, and I'm now in the middle of Terror of The Zygons, the second serial of Tom Baker's second season.
Once I finish either Vikings: Valhalla Season 3 or The Witcher Season 4 both of which I'm currently watching, I'll probably start Matt Smith's second season.
I say Porta-loos I mean a single trailer that contained three or four toilets.Porta-loos or a TARDIS fleet?
Maybe they all had functioning chameleon circuits?
If you have VPN and refuse to pirate things, YouTube is your easier fix.
It could boil down to only doing some mini episodes for Christmas.
Then people will make jump to their own conclusions
“Oh Billie was too busy to film a whole special so all they could do was film some 5 minute mini episodes
Classic Who is also on Tubi for free, once again.
I would love to see fandom's reaction to that. And imagine all of the stupid thinkpieces that would come after!Or just film her for a couple of minutes, Ncuti regenerates into her and then she immediately regenerates into someone else!
So Davies said nothing about DW at all at the talk he was giving tonight, even though it was on the promotion for it as one of the things he'd be talking about.
You'd want to believe that they wouldn't f' up on actor availability so badly but then I think back to when Jenna Coleman was the only person contracted to appear in the 50th anniversary special at one point.
