How to use a VPN to watch Antiques Roadshow from anywhere

Antiques Roadshow is the sort of show nobody will admit to watching, but everybody loves – it’s peak comfort TV as Bruce and her team of experts travel around the stately homes (Downton Abbey for international viewers) and appraise the meaningful, bizarre, valuable and often priceless artefacts so many of us hide away in our cupboards. But it’s not so much the items as the stories that go with them that makes the show surprisingly gripping.

That’s not to say it’s not entertaining to see the average Joe suddenly discover the vase that’s sat on their mantle for twenty years is worth half a million, but those moments are few and far between. Add to this Fiona Bruce’s laid back presenting and the often sun drenched UK countryside and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect laid back hour of TV.

How to watch Antiques Roadshow from anywhere with a VPN

If you're traveling outside the UK, you can watch Antiques Roadshow on the BBC iPlayer streaming by using a VPN – no matter where you are in the world!

Normally a streaming service will know where you are trying to tune in from and block you if you're not in the right country but a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an app that hides your location. That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you're traveling abroad.

Our favorite VPN is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
