What a w*nker.

Since the only thing he's been able to stop so far is the story going up on iPlayer (it's still on ITunes, Amazon Prime etc.) the BBC should go back to press on the DVD release before those rights run out. It would also stop scalpers selling copies for crazy amounts.
Not so. The TV Movie just has to be searched for separately, for some reason.
Probably a rights thing. The tv movie is co-owned by the American producer, so access via them.
Makes sense. Britbox has Doctor Who Seasons 1-26, then the TV Movie, K9 and Company, An Adventure in Space and Time and a few other tangential things as separate entries.
There is already a meme going around "An Ungrateful Child".
It wasn’t there when I was subscribed. Mind you, it was a bit of a mess when it half-shifted to ITVX and I gave up.
Was being lazy anyway… just didn’t want to get my DVD off the shelf.
I think they likely will, and will likely win, and the end result will be a bunch of people who otherwise got the odd cheque in the post now and then — won’t anymore.
On what grounds? Coburn Jr may be a Nazi scumbag but he legitimately inherited his father's rights to the scripts.
Any Judge will ask the BBC why they acknowledged the rights for 60 years, negotiated multiple previous contracts for Video, DVD and streaming rights and just offered him 20 grand for the rights to put the episodes on iPlayer.
And in the highly, highly, unlikely event they did win that sets a precedent to remove the rights from every single writer who worked or is working in UK television and their inheritors. Would that be a good thing?
The Law doesn't care about what's "fair".
It looks like it and Recons for unanimated episodes.
Does this only apply to the transmitted episode? The one that was remounted after the problems with the first attempt. Could the BBC air the unaired pilot in its place with a disclaimer?
Actually, it does, the word is used many times in law.
But I wasn’t expressing a legal viewpoint anyway xD
It’ll be a major plot point in the final season of The Crown.
He said back in May that if he or his family were to be harmed he'd give the rights to the Russian Federation, lol
Not my image, a twitter account I was linked to had a thread explaining what was going on with screencaps.
