They never own up to whatever they advertise. Doctor Who is always a beloved show, but when it comes to downloading it on Google Play, it's never available on the said date. Come on, Google Play, clean up your act. Tell the truth. Very disappointed in Google Play. Zero stars. Five stars for Doctor Who as always.

The best of the rest SciFi TV Show of all time & space ever. Has every imaginable metaphyics senerio ever created by man. That man is Steven Moffat , the producer who was there from the start. And made it even 1 gazillion times better on the return in 2005. For some reason PBS stopped showing ? What a bobo they made. They didnot realize that fan was about to make a $50 million contribution in 2009 if the Dr Who where to cont. On PBS till 2013. Show was not cont. So, cash cab was also cancelled per insider.

Had a super hard time finding the special since it's listed here. Now I'm wondering if the final two specials will also be here since there is an option to buy the season. Super sad yet excited for the final two special to come.
