Yesterday there was an article about a show called “Gladiators” in the Guardian, i wanted to see what it was and looked for where to watch it. The problem is that i leave in France. The tow only options i found were to :

  • Torrent it

  • Use a VPN, create an account on the BBC website, give a random postcode in UK and say that i pay a television license in UK (which i don’t because i live in France)

I wondered if i missed something or if there is really no way to legally watch it ?

    I think it’s the same issue when watching any content from abroad. You need a broadcaster or streamer that operates in your country to pick up the rights.

    When we were in the EU there was some discussion about using subscriptions from other EU countries, although I don’t remember how much that extended to BBC content. Not that it’s relevant now anyway.

    PS you could DX it OTA from the North coast.
