The Lingo Show, Across the Pond?

December 4, 2013 6:54 PM

My daughter loves the BBC Kids show The Lingo Show, in which bugs from different countries teach a little bit of their language. She's only seen bits and pieces on YouTube. Is there any legitimate way I can get her full episodes of the show?

Where are you? Do you have access to extra TV channels like BBC Kids?

Response by poster: The Lingo Show doesn't seem to be on BBC Kids at the moment. I'm in Montreal, Quebec.

Best answer: Depending on your definition of legitimate this may or may not help. I'm in Toronto and use Unotelly to get access to various geofenced video on the web. I just tested it with the BBC iPlayer website and I could access half a dozen recent Lingo Show episodes.

Alternatively TunnelBear might work for you and they offer a 500mb/month free option as opposed to Unotelly which costs $5/month (after a short free trial period).

@pdinnen The BBC iPlayer is only meant to be for UK licence-fee payers. So therefore it's not legitimate in any way.
