Well, it's not actually illegal to use a VPN to access the
BBC iPlayer... so it's not really legal advice.
However, using a VPN from outside the UK to watch stuff on
the iPlayer does go against the BBC's terms of service. But
who cares what the BBC think anyway? They shouldn't have
wiped those episode in the 1960's... then we wouldn't have
to break their rules to watch them now that they've been

There's nothing in the terms of the TV licence that
says everyone watching TV has to be watching in the
same room or on the same television. My home is the world,
the whole of Earth so anyone can watch with me as long as
they are on Earth.

the Earl of Middle Earth?

Quite possibly!
They missed a marketing trick there though. I reckon "Gandalf

No it doesn't. If I pay for a TV licence then I can use a VPN

like I can use one to watch Amazon Prime Video from anywhere.
If I'm paying for it I have the right to watch it.
You have a UK TV licence... the rest of us that use VPN's to

That's irrelevant. My licence allows me to watch TV with anyone I

Who cares what the BBC think anyway? They shouldn't have

to break their rules to watch them now that they've been
discovered!
I'm the one here that's paying for the BBC and owns it,
therefore I am the one who makes the rules. You are all
invited to my watch party and according to the terms of my TV
licence anyone who is with me is allowed watch the BBC
anywhere.
If you own the BBC can you please re-employ Gary Lineker to
present Match of the Day.
Also, can you stop commissioning Agatha Christie adaptations
that gender and race-swap characters from 1930/40's England.
Disgusting fascist-Marxist racist bigots.
Less Anachronisms in the UK - more authenticity to the novels!
Oh, and sack RTD... then decommission Bad Wolf Ltd as producers
of Doctor Who.

There's nothing in the books to warrant another movie,

The material is too little.
Possibly... but if they are as entertaining as Jackson's

Nothing, I'm guessing, as Lady Grey would be in-charge of the Teas!!

There's nothing in the terms of the TV licence that says everyone
watching TV has to be watching in the same room or on the same
television. My home is the world, the whole of Earth so anyone can
watch with me as long as they are on Earth. Maybe it could even be
extended to the entire universe also, so that people 60 light-years
away can also watch the same episodes from The Dalek's Master Plan
since they should be receiving them imminently.
Except it would take approx 60 years for the T.V. signals to get there >(travelling at Speed of Light) so they should get the first broadcast in >about 10 years (give or take).
--They might have to wait a week between episodes though and if they--
record them remember to send the tapes to the BBC so that all of the
episodes can be restored to the archives.
Of course if the BBC starts insisting on them all having their own TV
licence and they can't watch the episodes with me, then they're not
going to get any of them back, are they? Just think about it.

watch with me as long as they are on Earth. Maybe it could even be
extended to the entire universe also, so that people 60 light-years
away can also watch the same episodes from The Dalek's Master Plan
since they should be receiving them imminently.
Except it would take approx 60 years for the T.V. signals to get there
(travelling at Speed of Light) so they should get the first broadcast in
about 10 years (give or take).
The episodes were broadcast 60 years ago so should be getting then appropriately today. Where did you get the extra 10 years from?

finish it later.
It looks like you’re outside of the UK. BBC iPlayer is only
available in the UK.
Hardly "Breaking News"!
If you are using a proxy or VPN, please turn off any of these
services and try again.
For help, please go to iPlayer help and FAQs'

No, what it should say is... "To access this service get a VPN
or a browser with a VPN extension and try again."

Dave and Daniel will have to take a look and see if fans
in Canada and Australia can see them on that.

There's nothing in the terms of the TV licence that says everyone
watching TV has to be watching in the same room or on the same
television. My home is the world, the whole of Earth so anyone can
watch with me as long as they are on Earth. Maybe it could even be
extended to the entire universe also, so that people 60 light-years
away can also watch the same episodes from The Dalek's Master Plan
