This also works for UK people wanting to watch content on Hulu.

For the unacquainted, the BBC iPlayer provides streaming/on-demand access to pretty much everything that is aired on the BBC, either on TV or on the radio. I know that BBC America shows quite a lot of British programming, and stuff like Doctor Who is aired in the US on the same day as it is in the UK, but there is still plenty of stuff that doesn't make it across to the US. Enjoy :)

.. and those neither in US or UK would suddenly be able to watch both. :)

This is probably a better VPN service though, with access to Canada, and some other countries as well:

Speaking of, here's a BBC Panorama episode about the current Murdoch scandal: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b012y1tv/Panorama_Murdoch_Breaking_the_Spell/

best way to get around these blocked websites is through a VPN. i got one from a vpn review website (http://starvpnreviews.com/best-vpn-providers/) and i am able to access Hulu. i'm sure will work for BBC iplayer also :D
