American Fans Can Watch Newly-Discovered The Daleks’ Master Plan Episodes on YouTube Now!

Doctor Who fans in the United States can now watch the two recently-discovered episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan, as they’re available on the Doctor Who Classic YouTube channel.

The episodes are The Nightmare Begins and Devil’s Planet, found by the charitable trust, Film is Fabulous!, and released on BBC iPlayer today (3rd April 2026, Good Friday) for viewers in the UK.

Luke Spillane, Head of Digital, Fandom at BBC Studios, said:

“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.”

The episodes, remarkably, were last seen by the general public in 1965!

If you’ve not seen them yet, you’re in for a treat!
