FYI for anyone who tries to watch it: you will need to install a VPN on your computer to circumvent the stupid region blocking.

This is a good (free) option https://hola.org/ It's a browser extension, so better than the whole VPN business.

I just checked itv, and it works like a charm with hola.

I think that regional blocking is yet another example of corporate greed. End of discussion.

Hola is a vpn, just a particularly friendly to use one.

Well, I meant that it is not the traditional way of creating a VPN, i.e. by physically connecting to a server located in the one country, and acquiring a new IP address, from that country. Typically the speed of the connection is greatly reduced. Lately, services such as unblock-us or acevpn unblock-tv (and perhaps also Hola) worked out some ingenious tricks with the dns server, avoiding the psysical connection and IP change, and without limiting the internet speed.
Anyway, I would hardly call this a VPN, since it's really just limited to the specific site, not really a whole remote network

hola does not change your IP Address.

And, FWIW, I'm more looking forward to the Tommy Cooper drama - Houdini would have gotten more laughs if he'd worn a fez.

For the specific websites that it unblocks, it certainly does. Unless those websites see a different IP, they'll simply block you as usual.

While Hola functions as a selective style VPN (and works well in most cases) I've found it a bit wonky from time to time. In which case I use a good overall free vpn like this one.

It's not as easy to use as Hola, but it's still not hard to use at all. Most operating systems make setting up vpns pretty easy these days.
