BVI on BBC2 TV - 03/04/2015 05:59 PM

There is a new Tv series called Wanted in Paradise about hopefuls wanting to move to 'paradise'. Tonight features BVI and Tortola in particular. Shows at 1900-2000 UK time. Could show another aspect of our beloved ilons.

Your right... not very nice.

"If you download a programme to your laptop or hard drive, or to your phone or tablet via the BBC iPlayer App, you can watch it anywhere in the world. But you can’t download any more programmes until you’re back in the UK."

The Elm, the Elmtones, Steve, George and Sandra all appeared. But, shock, horror... No sign of Malcolm or Candace.

Nice program. I have it recorded but don't know how I can make it available. Any suggestions?

Peebles S'Open..BTW ..I think we were privvy to the tail end of this TV shoot at "Myett's"..the family had already been living on Tortola for quite a while by then while still having to be "convinced" it would work for them...

They were only supposed to be on island one week, but who knows the truth? Myetts clearly shown towards the end. The husband was very keen to start life on Tortola but the wife, not so. Ended with 'the time is not right, for now'! They seemed to have had absolutely no idea how hard it was to get the appropriate paperwork in order to be able to live and work in BVI. Surely anyone would have found that out in advance? But again, how much is done for the sake of the cameras? Still made good TV of a place we love.

As far as I know, each time you connect, Tor picks an exit node for you and does not allow you to specify which one you want to use. So you can't specify, for example, that you want to appear to be in the UK. You will appear to be in whatever country it selects.

If I'm wrong about this I'd like to know, as that would be a useful feature.

I was wrong - was unable to watch via tor. After some more searching I was successful using this...
https://www.tunnelbear.com/ The free trial is limited to 500Mb but that was enough to watch the episode. I later learned that right after selecting UK, then turn tunnel bear on, then go to the BBC site & start the video, then you can turn off tunnel bear saving some of your 500Mb for soemthing else later.

I was able to watch the entire show and many others via Hola.
