Watch outside the UK
If you don’t happen to be in the UK, then you can still watch on the BBC using a VPN. This is a virtual private network and allows you to access content that would otherwise be blocked because of your location.
We recommend NordVPN but you can check out other options here. Once you’ve chosen and installed a VPN, select the UK then use the iPlayer as normal. Read our more detailed guide here.
