   It was never on iPlayer when they put everything else up in 2023. Last

   This is why torrents are a good thing which should be encouraged.   
   Remember that it is not illegal to download copyrighted content. If you   
   were never going to pay for it then you are not depriving the copyright   
   holder of any money, greedy scum that they are. I've already paid for An   
   Unearthly Child and everything else the BBC has made many times over. I   
   own it and so do all Licence fee payers.
