You can do this yourself for free by using a proxy server (such as FoxyProxy - no relation) or through a subscription service (such as Acorn).
Either way, because of the licensing, it is probably illegal.
The PBS website usually allows you to watch a number of UK "catch up" programs for free and that, of course, is legal.
