That's very true. I remember the excitement of the Five Faces repeats in 1981 - seeing episodes I never thought I'd be able to. If I want to watch Three Doctors now, I've a bluray of it on the shelf or if I can't be bothered to stand up, I can watch it on Britbox. I cant help but feel that something's been lost.

As a side note, Unearthly Child was 18 years old when repeated that November. So, about 8 months older than Rose or The End of the World. It feels like time has concertina'd - something that was once impossibly distant now feels like you could reach out and touch it
