There was no shortage of high-quality British series to sink our teeth into. What's been super pleasing is that there have been smaller-scale, under-the-radar gems found in the TV guide. These are usually hosted on the smaller BBC Two and BBC Three channels where more experimental and niche offerings are promoted.
Not only is on-demand content available, but there is also plenty of live television content that can be streamed directly to your device. The BBC Sport offerings continue to get better, with highlights and coverage of live cricket, rugby, football, motorsports and more. There is also the suite of BBC News programmes that can be tuned in to throughout the day.
Does the BBC iPlayer Site Work in South Africa?
The free streaming service is only able to work for people located in the UK. If you try and access the website from South Africa you will be denied access to BBC iPlayer. This is due to licensing agreements. Using a VPN or a tool such as Beebs is the most effective way of getting around this block. By installing to your device, you'll gain access to the full content library of BBC iPlayer in South Africa.
