A Question for British Folk

[kriadydragon]

Does the BBC (not BBC America) official website re-air a new episode of a show after that ep was aired on TV? Like how the USA Network official website will re-air an episode a week after the ep was first aired on TV. From all accounts, Merlin won't come back until somewhere around January - both on SyFy and BBC America and, dang it, I don't know if I can wait that long (not if I don't have to, that is ;)).

Thank you so much :D

I've seen all the seasons of Merlin, I've just been trying to find a way to watch season five when it airs since it supposedly won't air in the US until January. But since many network sites will air new eps for a limited time I was hoping to be able to catch the new season that way.

The iPlayer definitely only works in the UK. Whenever my friend from England comes visit me in Germany, she always complains that she can't watch her shows online. However, you could possibly try using IP-rerouting services like Hotspot Shield, which sometimes works to get around these things (but not always, and not for everyone).

It does with some shows, but it only works in region 2, alas. :( I dearly wish the BBC iPlayer worked over here.

Hi.
I would go on twitter. People overseas on twitter seem to have ways of watching something British as it airs.
I think dl/streaming sites are involved. I just don't know which as I don't have to use them.
Sorry cant be more specific. X

Have you ever tried using Graboid? That's how I watch most shows that air from the UK long before they might be available in the States.
