That's all fine and good, but what if you're abroad before the next episode of your favourite show is aired? You can't download it, so you'll have to wait until you return home. The Beeb says the correct way to watch iPlayer content abroad is to "download a programme on BBC iPlayer when you're in the UK, you can watch it anywhere in the world." But if you're abroad and want to watch Gentleman Jack , Line of Duty or Vigil, then you'll find yourself faced with a message saying that you can't.

Watching within the UK is no issue, and they can download shows to watch offline anywhere in the world. However, you can still create an account without needing to prove you've paid - you just need a UK address. Whilst it doesn't require a subscription like Netflix does, viewers should pay a licence fee. However, there is a way to stream it internationally. BBC iPlayer is exclusive to viewers in the UK unless you download videos before you leave the country.
