There are rights issues surrounding "An Unearthly Child" so that
might be the reason it's not on Tubi... it was taken off the BBC
iPlayer a couple of years ago because the BBC does not own the
entire copyright. So it probably affects every service that has
deals with the BBC.
That's why having physical releases of stories is still a good
idea. Rights issues can go fuck themselves then!
