    Those outside the UK or US will currently need to use a UK / US based
    proxy / VPN server, but they are apparently working on releasing the
    episodes for other countries. Of course, it's pretty pointless watching
    these two episodes alone since they are each one part of multi-episode storylines (I don't know if the entire stories are even available / recovered).



    Recovered Doctor Who Episodes Online in the UK and US NOW!
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Classic William Hartnell episodes The Nightmare Begins and
    Devil's Planet are available to watch for the first time
    in 61 years!
     
    It's a very good Friday indeed! Two long lost classic
    episodes of Doctor Who recently returned to the BBC Archive
    are now available for free to fans on both sides of the
    Atlantic. The Nightmare Begins and Devil's Planet are both
    part of the epic storyline The Daleks' Master Plan as
    William Hartnell's First Doctor uncovers a vast conspiracy
    to conquer the entire galaxy. The episodes are now
    available in iPlayer's Whoniverse section, while fans in
    America can see them on the official Doctor Who YouTube
    channel. Unfortunately, fans in the rest of the world will
    have to wait a little bit longer.

    For viewers in the UK:

    - The Daleks' Master Plan Part One: The Nightmare Begins
    <https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00v250v>

    - The Daleks' Master Plan Part Three: Devil's Planet

    For viewers in the US:

    - The Daleks' Master Plan Part One: The Nightmare Begins

    - The Daleks' Master Plan Part Three: Devil's Planet 
    <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY-HK7UtmkM>

    BBC Studios' Head of Digital, Fandom, Luke Spillane, says:
    "I am delighted that we're finally able to share these
    thrilling Dalek episodes with our US Doctor Who fandom on
    the Doctor Who: Classic YouTube channel. After more than
    60 years unseen, and thanks to the incredible work of the
    Film is Fabulous! team and the BBC Archive, these adventures
    have now been lovingly rediscovered and restored. I can't
    wait for fans to dive in and uncover details that haven't
    been seen in decades."

    Originally shown on BBC TV in 1965, the two episodes have
    been missing ever since. Thanks to the incredible work of
    dedicated classic film enthusiasts Film is Fabulous! they
    located them in the private collection of a recently deceased
    fan. The digital scanning and restoration of the episodes is
    now complete, ready for generations of new viewers to stream.

    Seven out of the twelves Dalek's Master Plan episodes are
    missing. The BBC have episodes, 1,2,3,5 & 10... and they are
    all available on the iPlayer.
