          tbt I took it as feddit UK because that is where TM originated but your point is also understandable.

          but no it baffles me even more that it is geoblocked in the UK. that does seem like a downside of TV first productions, that there is probably something in the contracts stating that. but on the other hand i expected it to be available on iplayer or something similar as that is properly geoblocked outside the UK

      I’d be happy if you posted the Channel4 links for UK viewers. I’m not from or in the UK, so I link the version that’s available internationally.
