Netflix might lose 'Doctor Who' and other British shows

CNN)—You may want to plan a BBC binge-watching party.

According to What's on Netflix Now, the streaming service may be losing favorites like "Doctor Who" and "Luther" come January 31 because of an expiring contract between the streaming service and BBC.

That would mean missing shows like "Little Britain" and the original "House of Cards." Of course, the "Doctor Who" fans have already launched a petition to "save the show" on Netflix.

We've got our fingers crossed that the pair can work things out.

If not, there's always Amazon Prime.

Noooo! I haven't watched Luther or House of Cards UK or Wentworth yet!!!! And what about my tad-obsessive tendency to watch the train scene of North and South over-and-over?!?! :crying:

Seriously though, other than House of Cards and Orange is the New Black I really watch a lot of the BBC programming via Netflix. Sad to see this happen. I hope they can work something out before the contract expires.

I really hope that they can come to an agreement. My son just got into Doctor Who, and I love watching BBC shows. Luther is very good, by the way!

I think Amazon Prime has it streaming free for members. If it does go away from Netflix, we will probably cancel. That is the main thing we watch on Netflix.

Dude. I hope they can work something out. I'm in season four of Doctor Who and I have to watch like 6 a day to finish in time. I'm lazy and all, but that seems a little excessive even for me.

It may come back, they had long negotiations with sesame street and I think we had to wait at least 6 weeks but then it was back with more episodes than ever, hopefully they'll come to a negotiation.

That acorn.tv looks awesome, but they don't have Dr. Who. I have Netflix and Amazon Prime, but I watch Netflix more often. Dh and I love to rewatch the Dr. Who episodes on Netflix. Last year we did have to purchase a season of Dr. Who on Amazon to catch up to the current BBC season.
