Starting next month, 13 seasons of the current run of the venerable BBC SF series will move to AMC Networks' streamer (and if bought through a cable system, a commercial-free linear channel)--the last two series of shows that have been streaming on Disney+ (and have received some flack from hardcores that the association with Disney has made the show "woke") are staying there, while the 20-some years of the original run seem to be homeless except for possible YouTube postings in the U.S.:

Doesn't BritBox still hold the classic-era stuff? Their site still says so.     B

It's worth noting that this doesn't seem to include the two recent Disney co-produced series/seasons though. 

And I think it remains to be seen who becomes a co-producer of future episodes...

If you don't have it, you don't check it. Sorry.

And if I did have BritBox, I'd probably be watching "Pointless" and "The Chase" the most (and "House of Games," if they had it).

"The Chase" is not on BritBox (possibly due to the existence of American versions).

As far as I can tell, only Series 29 of "Pointless" is available (and BritBox is using a publicity photo with Richard Osman in it, even though Series 27 was his last), and only Series 1 of "House of Games" is available.

The only thing I ever watch on BritBox is "QI," which currently has Series K through Series V available, plus Series W for subscribers at the Britbox Premier level.
