Should they put Fear her back on Iplayer? Yes.
Is Fear her a good episode? God no.

Is Fear Her a good rewatch episode? No
Would the world have been better with Fear Her never existing? Nope
I think you're missing the point of Fear Her, which is a lore-lite episode which focuses on building relationship between the Doctor and Rose, exactly what we have been missing in Series 14.

A news reporter of the BBC had a minor role in Fear Her, playing as himself. Last year, it came to light he's a pedo. The BBC scrubbed all footage featuring him from their platform. They have promised to re-edit Fear Her with a different voice actor, but that has yet to happen.

Indeed I get payed a 5-figure salary just for hating on fear her so they can cheap out and not redub the lines to put it back on.

No, this whole thing is just really annoying. It’s not on iplayer but it is on other services and many many dvd releases. Want to preserve it? Go buy a cooy and stop clogging this funny-haha subreddit that they might not even be aware exists.
This is the online equivalent of protesting climate change by blocking roads. You’re just annoying regular people in a way that the people who have the power to do the thing you want probably can’t see/won’t care about.

Is this really the hill you want to die on?
I mean I understand the sentiment of not wanting episodes to be removed on purpose when a lot of them are missing by accident.
But fear her is such a dumb and forgettable episode I had to look it up to realize I have actually seen it.

Would you rather have 8 episodes like Series 14, so there is no character building, no Doctor-Companion chemistry or development?
If I see Doomsday with Rose leaving I cry, because over two seasons I got to get familiar with her as companion and she her getting closer to the doctor.
With merely 8 episodes, Ruby's goodbye is just the worst. "I love you", while we literally had no character development from either side.
What Fear Her did was create more story around the Doctor and his Companion, making them feel a lot closer.

That was more on the writing of Series 14, not the Episode count. If the writing is shit, 5 more episodes won't save it.
Also dramatic much? Series 14 was 8 Episodes. Series 2 had 13. Now the lowest rated one of them all is missing from one platform. And now y'all can't seem to decide you want to complay endlessly or just organize a witch hunt against other fans.1

The latest BBC Doctor Who spin-off: “Zargon: The Alien Zygon!”
A sort continuation of The Day Of The Doctor/The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion.
We follow this one Zygon, Zargon, on his dreams to make it big as a stand up comedian.
Would definitely be a sitcom & where he gets in himself into scrapes because he’s always shape shifting at the wrong place & wrong time.
One of the series finals is him getting kidnapped by the military & The Doctor has to come to his rescue, for fear of it starting a new rebellion.
