In 1962 three Ulstermen travelled overland from Belfast to Singapore in a Mini, it was an epic adventure through countries not usually visited giving us a fascinating insight through unique film taken by the intrepid trio:

Was an excellent wee programme. At a local Mini show here the two surviving lads that did the trip had the Mini with them (I assume now it was a replica as the programme noted that they sold it in S Africa), and I had a bit of a chat with them. It was certainly quite a trip.

i think if you change your computer settings to uk then you should be able to view it.

try it you maybe lucky,

its a great little programme, and a great watch

If you can find a free proxy service in the UK that is fast enough, you can change your proxy settings ("spoof" your proxy) to trick iplayer into thinking you're in the UK. Finding one that responds quickly enough to stream video is the problem.You could also find a paid proxy service in the Uk, they should be fast enough, but cost you money.

There's also an iphone/ipad app that allows foreigners to view BBC's 'secret' programs.

I was a bit upset to see the Beeb no longer had it to watch.

But immensly happy to see it downloaded which I watched at my desk at lunchtime.

Thanks very much! Such a shame that today the same mission is not possible due to political reasons etc.

Wonder if the car's still going in Asia?!
