How to watch the Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials
When Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor regenerated as the form of David Tennant (as The Doctor), Doctor Who fans were thrown for a loop. Now the 60th anniversary specials have taken it even further, with Catherine Tate’s Donna back, remembering The Doctor, and some aliens threatening them and the fate of the world. All that and this Fourteenth Doctor will be regenerating as the Fifteenth Doctor (Sex Education and Barbie’s Ncuti Gatwa).
Which is all to say: The anniversary specials (that’s right, we’re talking plural specials, baby) have a lot explaining to do, and a lot of ground to cover. Which means you’re probably going to want to watch them as soon as you possibly can — and here’s how.
This is the easiest part of the whole affair: In the States, the Doctor Who anniversary special will be streaming on Disney Plus. No longer do Who fans have to turn to shady streaming sites or navigate the BBC America site.
It’s a bit unclear if Disney plans on releasing it simultaneously with the British premiere time, which would mean fans could find the special on the platform at 1:30 p.m. EST. But if they can’t, it seems like they’d only have to wait a couple hours before it drops there.
Well, of course you still can; Doctor Who is a BBC show, after all, and it will be airing there in the U.K. The first episode of the 60th anniversary specials, “The Star Beast,” will air at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 25. You can also find the specials on the BBC iPlayer.
