See this emailI just received from BBR. It is on today (16th February) in the UK.

Is there a way that non-Britons can see this program?

Normally you can go to the web site for 'BBC four' and once the programme has aired on TV you can watch on your computer. I don't know if there are any oevrseas restrictions.

Yes there are restrictions. The service isn't available outside the UK due to legal stuff.

Vicky Williams at BBR says that it should be free on the BBC’s iPlayer as of tomorrow. If it isn’t she will send me a DVD, which I promised to forward to others.

Thanks for asking and caring, jdaw.

That's wonderful jdaw. Thanks for asking!

Just checked, it is indeed on the iPlayer, but only available inside the UK. So, if you have an IP-address which is non-UK (like mine), this will not work.

Please could a UK person post a link?

I’ll call tomorrow.

If they send me a DVD, to whom should it be forwarded?

Could we send it round. Like you will send it to Ronnie, Ronnie to me and so on... ?

Sending it around may not work - DVDs are typically region encoded, so one from England won't play on a DVD player in the US and vice versa, etc.

I’ll ask BBR what they have. If they have separate regions, or regionless, I’ll act as appropriate.

Any region will do for me, my DVD player accepts them all. I can pick up a copy when in NY.

Same here, any region will do.
