Ok, I'm really bummed. Doctor Who pulled from Netflix and Hulu.

Guess my fannish cred is in question since I just found out about this tonight (noticed they were missing) I'd bought season 9 on iTunes, so I have that- and it'll be back somewhere at some point- but geez- this sucks. (Guess it and many other bbc shows' contracts expired at the end of Jan. Rumor BBC will be starting its own paid streaming service)

have threatened to pull BBCAmerica off their channels if they do it. But there are rumblings they may go ahead and do it.

I'd buy the bbc service if they offered it here in the states. It'll suck if this drags on.
