Chilly Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Does anyone know how I can watch this from the US?? Holiday to to the UK? There are no legal ways, and the illegal ones get taken down by the BBC promptly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceancity Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I wanted to share that there is technically a legal way to watch this show that I just found. You need a service like Uno Telly that uses it's own DNS servers for your internet connection. People use this so that IP tracking is impossible. It's a safe service and you can get a free trial of it. Set up was easy. Then because your DNS is routed through them, the BBC website can't tell that you're not in Britain and therefore will allow you to access BBC iPlayer. You can watch the episode for free there. Hope this helps you enjoy the show!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluecreekpottery Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I saw this post and watched the first episode of the first season. Are these supposed to be skilled potters because most of them seemed quite unskilled. I understand that they have time limit but really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
