'''[[Wikipedia:Hulu|HULU]]''' is a US-based video-on-demand streaming platform, established in October 2007 to screen recent episodes of current network series. A subscription service selling older programming was launched in November 2010 under the name '''Hulu Plus''' (aka '''hulu+'''). This was shortened to just '''hulu''' in April 2015.

In '''early 2012''', Hulu Plus made a deal with the BBC to show '''Doctor Who''' ([[NEW SERIES|new series only]]) via its service in Japan.

By '''2013''', Hulu Plus had also acquired the rights to stream a large back-catalogue of Classic episodes of '''Doctor Who''' in the USA. Although it's a subscription-based pay service, Hulu also played commercials, with at least three breaks per half hour.

Commencing from '''18 September 2013''', a significant package of '''Doctor Who''' serials was made available online to US subscribers. According to most online sources, there were 98 serials in the package; one source gave the episode count as being "over 400", another source had a very specific figure of 413 episodes (although it's not clear if the 45 minute episodes were being counted as singles or doubles).

We did find a list online [http://squishymorph.blogspot.com/2014/11/ranked-doctor-who-on-hulu.html HERE] but there were only 97 titles given! The episode tally of that list comes to 411 if we count the 45 minute segments as two half-hours, so it still doesn't quite tally.

98 stories (only 97 listed below), equivalent of no less than 411 half hour episodes:

Unlike the DVD and all previous syndication screenings, [[The Chase]] was ''not'' edited, with the appearance of the Beatles in part one intact.

The package included [[The Enemy of the World]] and [[The Web of Fear]] (the missing third episode was shown as a tele-snap reconstruction), the first time both stories had been included in a group package with other classic serials since being recovered in 2013.

At the end of '''January 2016''', both Hulu Plus and [[Netflix]] lost the rights to stream '''Doctor Who''', and from '''27 March 2016''' until the launch of [[Britbox]] in early 2017, the series was only available in the US on [[Amazon Prime]]…

''Thanks to John Geoffrion for the list of 97 titles''
