As many expats nowadays live outside of the UK or the Commonwealth it is a common issue that they and other people who want to watch the BBC are not able to, because of the geolocation restrictions. In general the BBC iPlayer (which is the official name of the video-on-demand streaming service of the BBC) is only available to people having an IP address based in the United Kingdom and some other Commonwealth territories.
Now watching BBC online while being abroad is much easier, and with access to wide array tools and VPN services, there’s no obstacle for watching any local UK TV show. Below you can find a list of countries where people are successfully watching BBC by using the so called VPN (Virtual Private Network) services. Find out how and watch BBC iPlayer online from anywhere abroad.
