    Oy. I have worked inside the BBC, years ago. It has changed much since then, but I feel what is probably happening is that you have been noticed by an individual (or small group of them) who is now on some kind of vendetta. This means there is hope they will eventually get fired, moved or find another job, at which point the notices may cease. I really hope so. Beautiful valid and loved you are.

      It is interesting that she mentioned only using stills:
      "Fair dealing for criticism, review or quotation is allowed for any type of copyright work. Fair dealing with a work for the purpose of reporting current events is allowed for any type of copyright work other than a photograph. In each of these cases, a sufficient acknowledgement will be required.
      As stated, a photograph cannot be reproduced for the purpose of reporting current events. The intention of the law is to prevent newspapers or magazines reproducing photographs for reporting current events which have appeared in competitor’s publications."
      - UK "Exceptions to copyright" guidance.
      Edit: "Fair dealing" IS determined on a case-by-case basis (from the same document):
      "‘Fair dealing’ is a legal term used to establish whether a use of copyright material is lawful or whether it infringes copyright. There is no statutory definition of fair dealing - it will always be a matter of fact, degree and impression in each case. The question to be asked is: how would a fair-minded and honest person have dealt with the work?"

    I've been doing Who videos for about 15 years, almost every single one gets blocked worldwide on release, mostly they get through on challenge but the BBC gets the ad rev.
    The Flux review was different. They chose a certain bit of footage and claimed it 3 times (saying it was in 3 different episodes) and blocked it twice and monetised it once. I challenged all 3 and they decided all these were legit and the video is still blocked.
    To make this even funnier, I once directed a microbudget documentary, parts of which ended up in a BBC documentary, where some people took the piss out of it. I wasn't asked and wasn't told about this until I saw the BBC documentary after it got released. And because I'm not a dick about it I feel I have the high ground.
    Also pretty sure the BBC has taken down videos of mine for just mentioning A Fix with Sontarons, so I think sometimes fuckery is deliberately done.

    Something to notice about these recent copyright claim problems: BBC is going after Vera's videos about Doctor Who doing relatively well in the TH-cam algorithm. Days after watching the video "Doctor Who's WORST EPISODE EVER came out in 2006...", suggestions for it still keep appearing for me even in videos not related to Doctor Who. You could interpret this situation in both ways. Good way: more people are watching Vera's videos. Bad way: the copyright claims are hindering the success of these same videos.

    Usually there's no point in reaching out to the company cuz they generally dont even know who you are and dont want to waste their time on you.
    In this case, they have someone wasting their time on you, and just *maybe* the person doing it is tired of wasting their own time as well. Maybe in your next video, as you are telling the audience to go to patreon and why, speak directly to the person checking your videos, and ask them to get in touch so you can BOTH stop wasting time and money.

    The BBC is so strange when it comes to fair use, not even just with Doctor Who, but with everything. People could upload full episodes of The Young Ones with no problems, but the briefest moment of something that they may haven't even broadcast since like 1979 even with people talking over it and reviewing it will get claimed. Why?

    I know this is going to sound like too much of a hassle but you should really consider asking a British friend to do this. Put in a FOIA request. I'm American but some basic googling shows you can put in a FOIA request with the BBC since they are publicly funded. I know a FOIA sounds like a hard legal thing to do but they are actually quite simple. I have no legal training and do not know any lawyers and I've successfully put in FOIA requests. They do not, at least in my local American context, need to be fancy. I'd suspect there are emails between BBC and TH-cam that either have your name or your videos' names in them. In an American context, emails are usually considered public records and are 100% obtainable. I see BBC even has a whole section on their website about FOIA requests. Maybe this is much more complicated than I'm making it seem but I think at the very least it would be interesting to confirm or deny any suspicions you have.

    What I think is possible (as, admittedly, a complete layman - not a TH-cam creator at all), is that, while Disney themselves may not be behind the copyright strikes, it could be that someone at the BBC has heard about Disney's past history of challenging small businesses over copyright, and is therefore unilaterally deciding to be more harsh in copyright claiming on YT to "protect" the deal with the Evil Mouse Empire...

    I think its most likely that the policies regarding the BBC's monitoring and policing of their IP has become more restrictive (on mass) due to how toxic fandom became during Chibs era. They are mitigating critical reviews that could impact the value of their IP. I very much doubt that they have different policies based on the age of the material being featured from Dr Who, or if it was generated, pre or post Disney deal. The BBC more than likely has written up their current policies to cover the entire IP (old & new) in a manner that serves both Disney and the BBC's continued investment. From their stand point, they don't need thousands of youtubers bashing Dr Who, when they can push forward a select few that are in their pocket.
