looked into this. You can get it but you have to subscribe to some website thingy that bounces your IP address through the UK which fools the website.
You do have to pay and as you can tell I dont know much about it.

BBC Iplayer will not work on pc or smart phone outside the uk with Internet explorer but if you use another browser it does work.

Re: bbc iplayer
you can set your browser to use a "proxy" in the uk, i have have varying degrees of success with this method. Basically this method disguises you pc as having an IP address in the UK therefore the BBC end doesn't block you, it can be awfully slow though sometimes and it can make streaming unreliable .T heres loads of tutorials on youtube etc.. for example;

Re: bbc iplayer
But which browser did you use in New Zealand? It's no use telling us about other countries, we need info for New Zealand!
