ok so basically what you are gonna want to do is download a app called Free VPN: Unlimited
VPN Proxy . And then you are going to want to make a account for BBC Iplayer
errr, still have the “only works in uk” message 
I used the parivado vpn and it worked
It kept freezing for me or taking forever to load, no matter what vpn I used
Did you have to pay for anything?
I am in India and used Panda vpn
