Time flies when you’re a Time Lord.

To commemorate the 10 years since the BBC regenerated the “Doctor Who” series, BBC Worldwide has joined with BitTorrent to release an exclusive 10-episode bundle highlighting the British sci-fi show’s best moments, as selected by the “Doctor Who” team.

The “Decade of Doctor Who” bundle features an introduction by Peter Capaldi, who currently stars as the Twelfth Doctor. The introductory video, as well as a preview of the episode “Rose,” the first episode of the 2005 revival starring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor, are available free.

“This innovative deal with BitTorrent allows us to directly reach a huge number of consumers and engage with fans on a global and fast-growing digital platform,” said Julia Kenyon, the director of drama brands at BBC Worldwide in a statement. “This deal is the first of its kind for British TV content.”

While the bundle may not feature everybody’s favorites, it does contain a wide array of episodes, including the special celebrating the long-running series’ 50th anniversary, “The Day of the Doctor.” The bundle, which marks BitTorrent’s first deal with a major television network, also includes additional videos by Capaldi and is available for $12.

“Doctor Who” will return for its ninth season in the fall.
