    Buy a VHS/DVD combo and copy your VHS tapes to DVD...

    You won't find a new one of those anywhere (except maybe unopend boxes
    on places like eBay). They stopped making them years ago. Even some
    type of DVD player, i.e. a Blu-ray / 4K player, will be getting
    difficult to find because companies are no longer making those either (Panasonic might be the last one still making them).



    Although, as a licence fee payer the BBC have supplied you with
    an online source of [nearly] every "Doctor Who" episode with
    their iPlayer service, so in a way they have provided you with
    an upgraded viewing experience to your VHS tapes... free of
    charge.

    :-)

    Well, not free since it is part of the TV license.

    I don't have a TV to play them back on.

    There's no An Unearthly Child. There's no Terror of the Zygons. There's
    no Seeds of Doom. I want a refund.
