As said the Iplayer will only allow you to download and view if in the UK or a UK resident, but does the ONLINE version not work?
That was what I was saying, here is the address to watch it on line, you can indeed go full screen on it as well and watch the show on your PC or output it to your TV if the graphics card you have allows that. Please let me know if it works OK.

Hello Tony and thanks again for your followup.
I apologize, it seems that I was being my usual inarticulate self in my earlier post. I actually was meaning to refer to the online player, and the new link that you so kindly provided delivers the same "only in the UK" error message that I got before.
It seems that The Beeb is blocking specific strings of IP and / or MAC addresses that correspond to computers outside of the UK, and so that includes us Yanks.
Not to worry, many of the BBC programs are eventually released on DVD here in the USA and so there's a chance that we will be able to see it here one day.
Thanks again for your kind efforts and your desire to help us :-)
Cheers!
Unfortunately, I get the message “Sorry, this programme is only available to play in the UK (Why?)” posted across the screen. Many thanks for trying, though.
