Except with the way technology is today? It's hardly surprising - we can get our hands on all sorts of obscure cultural items. I mean honestly? I have an American friend (New Yorker born and raised, three-four years younger than me) on FB who told me that if I ever wanted to get into Classic Who - she can direct to the best episodes in its entire history. And where to find them. [I had to restrain myself from telling her - that I've a lot of people of DW that can do the same thing.]

If it's been recorded? You can find it.
