  • BBC archive trial

    I found out about the BBC archive trial and thought of the resident Brits here. Maybe one of you would like to apply for a trial membership of their archives?

    Sadly it's not open to foreigners, and - just a tip - it seems there is a bug in the system, because the website will only accept registrations from women

          Hahhhahhaha!

          I will keep that in mind. How about adding "black" and "lesbian" to that, we'd have a definite minority within the snooker playing society there.

            I don't understand why they don't give foreigners the possibility to pay some fee (higher than the British TV fees maybe) to also use the service. Maybe some legal issue.

                Do a google search for free proxy servers, find one that is in the UK and use that to register, this will fool them into thinking you are in the UK

                This can also work if you wish to view any content on the BBC that they dont allow you to see

                    Everytime I tried using BBC with a proxy some problems occured. I'll have another try this weekend to watch the Davis-Parrott match.

                      'XX'12 3'YY'

                      Try XX as MK or LU or S.

                      123 can be any numbers...
