Iplayer.
I've paid my fucking license for over 20 years. Thousands of pounds to those money-grabbing scumbags at the BBC.
Now, just because I've moved to another country, they won't let me watch the programs I helped pay for!!!
And breath......
Cheers

is countries all over the world to get access to iplayer, despite the fact that they haven't paid the license fees to produce the content?
or that the bbc should have an IP address registering system for ex-license fee payers?
sorry, but i wasn't aware the earth had moved out of solar orbit and started spinning around your goodself

learning how to read.
I've mentioned that I've paid a few thousand quid which went towards producing these programs.
Adding a mechanism for ex-pats, WHO'VE FUCKING PAID THOUSANDS, isn't difficult.

But, living in the UK, could I stop paying my license fee and still watch any programme produced during the time while I was paying it?

i stopped paying about 2 years ago.
should i still expect to be able to get their (admittedly shite) channels?

your argument was that you've paid license fee for years, you have now moved to a new country and should still get access to iplayer (a uk service) so my comment is perfectly matched to your original statement, exactly how should the "mechanism" you speak of work?
(if its that simple?)

There's some real mangling of the english language going on in this video.
....I'm 6 minutes in...Is it going to be funny in a bit? Scottish telly has to do better than this if it's ever going to give me anything as good as Chewing the Fat. I can't believe that show never made it to England.
Mind you, i really like the sketch that begins at 17:35. Not sure it was worth sitting through just for that bit, though.

I thought it was alright, usual Dark/Twisted/dry humour from Limmy, I look forward to seeing the rest of them...
Btw, isn't there some Proxy sites out there, so you can watch iPlayer if you're outside the UK?

Not sure if it works, as I'm in the UK.
Somebody mentioned that these proxy sites are hit and miss, so make a google search and try out a few others, if you have no joy with this one...

Its not meant to be some sort of rollercoaster of laughs but it had me coughing with laughter a fair few times (got a cold). I love the mirror sketch.
