what will you be watching on? It seems a computer is easy enough, but trying to do TV/ipad/etc apps can be a problem as they only put them on the US's 'store' sites.

I haven't done it myself but there seems a few people on Reddit/random sites watching fine on VPNs. Have you tried the free trial yet?

Mainly on a PC, but should be able to stream from there to a TV - or take advantage of one of the many recording opportunities.

I think I'll give the free trial a go. I wouldn't be surprised to find that they have a substantial income from users all over the world.

I get the sense they're less interested in blocking this sort of thing than the likes of Netflix, that's for sure.

I really want to watch the Marcel Pagnol Marseilles Trilogy, but I'm not blowing £65 plus on the blue rays. I watched a shitty old print of the first film, Marius, on VHS about 30 years ago and I think I've just about waited long enough to see what happens next.

A curious synopsis:

"Marius and Fanny, two young shopkeepers on the harbor front of Marseille, always seemed destined to marry, but Marius cannot overcome his urge to break free and voyage on the open sea."

It is, isn't it?

"But Marius knocked her up and took off."

Oh Lord. I suppose it has to be said so I'll get it over and done with: "Marius spends the rest of his life looking for Fanny".

There.
