I think the point is that you need to be registered as signing in from a UK IP address.

The BBC say that the reason they can only allow the iplayer to work in the UK is copyright. Apparently there are rights problems, and they only have UK broadcasting rights. The design problem isn't in the player, but in copyright, a dreadful system no longer fit for purpose.

>> Apologies, I had no idea that BBC iPlayer couldn't be used outside of the UK. Whenever I travel I have no desire/need to watch the BBC so some things I just take for granted I'm afraid. I assume that the restricted viewing has something to do with restrictions related to the BBC licence fee (currently $227US per year). But at least the JISCMail system which, whilst being a national service, operates beyond my national boundary, otherwise we wouldn't be 'talking'.
>> 
>> Unfortunately I'll not be able to transcribe the show, but for anyone wanting to look into the content in more detail, it included the following (taken from the BBC website):
>> 
>> "Tom Dyckhoff presents this design themed edition of the Culture Show, which examines the latest 'hacking' craze - where online design communities interact to reinvent and create new objects. As artists are now able to download and 'open-source' design tweaks, is the 'Great Designer' poised to disappear?
>> 
>> We explore the impact of football on five decades of men's fashion as Manchester's National Museum of Football unveils its 'Strike A Pose' exhibition. Ever since the abolition of the footballers' maximum wage, players from George Best to Beckham and Balotelli have been bringing bling to menswear. 
>> 
>> As a new exhibition focusing on extraordinary yet everyday objects opens at the Design Museum in London, Charlie Luxton meets design futurologists Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby, both professors of interactivity at the Royal College of Art who have taught and mentored some of today's most successful and daring designers.
>> 
>> Writer and Design Critic, Alice Rawsthorn discusses her new book 'Hello World: where design meets life' and assesses the changing role that design can play in modern society. All this as well as a look at the photography from the life and work of Philip Treacy, milliner to the stars".
>> 
>> It's only a snippet, but I hope it helps.
>> 
>> Thanks

>> p.s. The music has a kind of 80's retro synth vibe. It takes me back to my undergraduate days in Sheffield when "I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar....."

>> Hi Mark,
>> 
>> Thanks for this!
>> 
>> Regrettably the BBC iPlayer doesn't work for TV programmes outside the UK; only radio works.
>> 
>> Not very usefully, you won't have got the message saying this.
>> Only those people who want to watch, but are not in the UK, receive the message saying they can't.
>> 
>> So, I guess you probably didn't know that many (most?)  of us won't be able to watch this programme.
>> 
>> It's an example of poor design, but not, I would say of the BBC iPlayer, at least, not just this.  It would be better if you're Email editor could check that a link you chose to include in a post to PhD-Design list, which it can lookup somewhere and see is an international mailing list, will or will not work for all countries, and then warn you of what it finds.  This is all perfectly doable, but not (yet) done.
>> It's still the case that most Email editors just support text editing, and even then often allowing users to do ghastly things with text setting, fonts, and colours--which these editors could also help avoid or advise against.
>> 
>> The tune of "Qui peut dire où vont les fleurs?"  (Where have all the flowers gone?) often comes to me on these occasions, but, as I hear Marlene Dietrich singing this in my head, I silently replace "flowers" with "designers."
>> 
>> So what is the music we're missing for not seeing this?
>> 
>> Best regards,
