In terms of what's legally available, you can forget "free" and entirely dismiss "cheap".

With SJAF, you can actually entirely give up on the notion of any kind of availability whatsoever. It was on iPlayer back at the top of the decade, but it's been at least two years since you could stream it there. And it has never been made available to home video. So there is no legal way to get it. Don't worry though: you're not missing much. It really is just a clip show, wherein scenes from SJA proper are merely repackaged with a slight — which is to say minuscule — framing narrative ties those scenes together.

As for Reeltime and BBV stuff, there never was any sort of legal streaming, nor could there be. My guess is that because they were, for the most part, made prior to the advent of streaming, the rights were never obtained for exhibition through streaming. To my knowledge, there was also never any rental. This was a very small operation.

I'm afraid your only recourse now is the secondary market — eBay, Amazon re-sellers, [http://www.alienentertainmentstore.com/mm5/merchant.mvc? specialist Doctor Who merchandisers], that sort of thing. And, no, it won't be cheap. But then it never was.

Whenever you speak of someone being "the uploader", I can only assume, therefore, that you're speaking of some sort of unlicensed file sharing, and so I must bring this discussion to a close. This wiki in no way encourages or assists people to find extra-legal copies of any DWU products.
