There is a good alternative for when you are abroad: http://www.tvcatchup.com/  free service
Plays with a few minutes delay but more secure as with a UK based proxy,

I may be away......but i still pay a license fee in the UK !!!!!
Common practise to use a VPN

Thank you for your help

That is the problem, as the checks that go on are geo-location as there would be no way to check if you had a UK TV License. Even using a VPN may have problems as I believe the BBC will have some idea of someone using a VPN or not, as there must be many people trying to access this content.
