I tried a VPN from America but after many adjustments made by me with aid from Nordvpn it only partially worked, it wouldn't allow me access to BBCIplayer although the other Iplayers worked. I tried linking in to a UK server but that slowed everything down to such an extent that the programme was unwatchable!  Now my 'old British' one seems to be working but it often slips out before the end of the programme & so I have to keep re-connecting it!  Any ideas?
