Metro put out an article with the racist headline "Sorry straight white men, Doctor Who was never made for you". Shockingly, this didn't go over well with the fans, and the backlash was so severe it appears Metro has ended up deleting their entire Twitter/X account in response. https://twitter.com/MetroUK
And the writer of that article protected her account.
Good luck fren, a good chunk of the old series was lost when the BBC forgot who was supposed to be archiving it.

I actually gave up when I realized the series was effectively incomplete...too autistic to jump around like that...
Still, enjoy what there is. The series was pretty good from what I saw.
I think everything from Tom Baker (and maybe even almost all of Pertwee) is in existence, so it’s not too bad if you stick to that era on.
Doesn’t mean it’s all good, necessarily, but from the late 60s through to the early 80s, it has a pretty good, intact run…
I know on Tubi and Pluto they have a lot of the old episodes but I have heard a lot was lost which sucks
There's been active efforts to track them down, and people have donated a lot of old episodes when they found them, but yeah, the current state is pretty bad.
Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky int he future, and some collector will have a shitton of the lost episodes, or not. either way, enjoy what we have, I suppose.
Sorry if I came off like a downer.
