Race Across the World is back with its fifth series, promising more excitement and challenges for the contestants. Similar to America’s The Amazing Race, this show sends pairs of contestants to far-flung corners of the world with limited resources and no smartphones, tasked with reaching an end destination with five checkpoints along the way.
This year’s series will take place across China, India, and Nepal, with teams facing the lowest budget yet. If you’re a fan of the show but find yourself traveling during the airing of series 5, don’t worry – there’s a way to watch it from abroad.
Race Across the World series 5 is currently airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with new episodes released every Wednesday at 9pm BST. If you’re outside the UK and want to catch up on the latest episodes, you can stream the show on BBC iPlayer using a VPN (virtual private network).
A VPN reroutes your IP address, allowing you to access geo-blocked websites and stream content as if you were in the UK. There are several VPN providers available, but Tech Advisor recommends NordVPN for its reliability, user-friendliness, and affordability.
To watch Race Across the World series 5 from abroad with NordVPN, follow these steps:
1. Sign up for NordVPN by selecting a plan on their website and creating an account.
2. Install the NordVPN app on your device (phone, tablet, or computer).
3. Launch the app, sign in with your account details, and select a UK server location to connect to.
4. Wait for the VPN connection to establish, and once connected, you can stream Race Across the World series 5 on BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world.
Don’t miss out on the thrilling adventures and challenges of Race Across the World series 5 – with NordVPN, you can watch it from abroad and stay up to date with all the action. When looking at the screen, you will notice the green CONNECTED symbol along with a padlock icon displayed above the United Kingdom section. This indicates that a secure connection has been established.
To proceed, follow these steps:
1. Launch the iPlayer application on your device.
2. Sign in to your BBC account. If you don’t have one yet, create a new account.
3. Once logged in, browse for your desired content to watch.
4. With the help of a VPN service, the content should play seamlessly, giving you access as if you were in the UK.
For UK residents holding a valid license, using a VPN to watch content is still against the terms and conditions. This also applies to individuals outside the UK who use fake UK addresses to access BBC content.
By following these steps and using a VPN service, you can enjoy BBC iPlayer content from anywhere, ensuring a secure and seamless viewing experience.
