The BBC's website limits much of its content to British residents (not
just the TV shows, but also things like the Doctor Who games), although
you can get around it using proxy servers. To some degree they do have
the right to do that though since the British public pay a TV licensing
fee, whereas overseas people do not, although some of the content is
purchasable by overseas people instead of being free.
