@rothko @anomnomnomaly Sure, and if someone is looking for a good VPN, that's likely helpful. The chat was about using BBC stuff while the VPN is active.
I can confirm now that I'm home that my ExpressVPN thingy (with a minor tweak on my local DNS, the details of which I can't recall) seems to allow me to watch all the BBC stuff (aside from the pop-ups mentioned earlier in the thread.) Just went back to iPlayer and it played The Commitments fine with my VPN active on the laptop.
