twitch was a live streaming video platform owned by Twitch Interactive and created in June 2011. The website was primarily known as a site where people would share themselves playing videogames. However the platform has a wide variety of users from Vloggers to chefs to reviews of Bernice Summerfield novels.
From 29 May to 23 July 2018 Twitch ran a marathon of Doctor Who from the classic era starting with the 1963 episode An Unearthly Child to the 1989 episode Survival. The marathon began at 7pm UK Time/11am Pacific Time and ran for a seven week period from Monday to Friday. While watching, people could speak to fans all over the world who were also watching.[1]
This has led to new evaluations of many stories with previously bad reputations. It also at one point caused The Web Planet to be the #2 trending topic on U.K. Twitter. This is a interesting parallel to the serial's original airing when at 13.5 million viewers episode 1 was the highest rated 1960s Doctor Who episode.
