| 872931 | 2010-04-04 23:52:00 | No, there is no way I know of, and I've tried lots of things for such sites. The BBC, Hulu etc have it sewn up, proxies etc dont work, not that one should be attempting such devious things :) |

| 872932 | 2010-04-05 00:20:00 | I am on genealogy mailing lists for the Forest of Dean and Monmouthshire, and on one of them a writer said there is a proxy way around the BBC block . He claimed to have successfully done it from America to watch BBC content (is it the iPlayer app, or some similar dumb name adopted by the Beeb?) . Well, I tried with one of those proxy things that make out you are actually calling from within Pomgolian shores, but I couldn't get it to work . . . There was one proxy that said it would work if you paid them an inordinate number of shekels to be a subscriber, but I didn't want to watch the content that badly so I declined (the cost of converting our banana republic playmoney into sterling and all that . . . ) . |

If they don't want to offer you a reasonably legal way to watch their content, screw 'em I say. |

Not sure about that new Doctor Who from last night, no doubt we'll get used to him . |

| 872936 | 2010-04-05 02:02:00 | You would be able to do it with a UK-based VPN service, which will tunnel your web traffic through a server located in the UK, making it look like you're there, and not here. I use a similar technique to view US tv shows on Hulu and similar sites which are geolocation-limited. |

Re Torrent - no-one seems to be interested in doing that for this programme. At least I haven't found them. |
