Jeffries Anglo Repair on BBC iplayer

[wes williams]

'The Repair Shop' programme on the Beeb recently featured the restoration of a c.1890s Jeffries 38 key anglo by Roger Thomas, with the case restoration by Suzie Fletcher. You've got just under two weeks to watch it on iplayer here.

Unfortunately for me, this is not available in Australia. 

[Aldon Sanders]

It's not available in the USA either. Unfortunate indeed.

I tried to watch it in Germany, but got a message to the effect that the BBC player is available in the UK only. Pity!

 

Cheers,

The reason you can't watch the program in a geographic location outside of the UK is that the iPlayer recognises your IP as not being assigned to the UK.

Here's the way round this issue:

 

- install a VPN to your computer (I use NordVPN)

- once installed, start the VPN client and select a VPN server in UK (this will cause your IP to look like it's in UK)

- start the iPlayer and watch the program

 

However, the BBC may request that you confirm you have a TV license.

 

Hope this works.

Can't easily get it in Canada either................but I'm curious to know about Roger Thomas.

               The name is not familiar to me as a concertina repair person.

They have just re-broadcast a shortened 30 minute version of the programme here which appears to be available for about 3 weeks.

Excellent demonstration of the correct way to extract a tina from a 6 sided leather or wooden case.

It let me register, but apparently it's only available in the UK. Or, maybe I did something wrong.

You did nothing wrong. BBC content isn’t generally playable outside the UK (but you can fool it if you have a VPN).

If I remember correctly, the 'standard' time for non-permanent BBC audio and film output is three weeks.

If I remember correctly, the way it works is; if the service you are using is hosted on a U.K. machine, it

all works fine. If your service is hosted on a server outside the U.K, you are stuffed. This is cool if I am

at home, but it used to be the case that if I was in the local library, I was unable to look at/listen to 

stuff because the library internet service was hosted on a machine in the Republic of Ireland...
