There's a handy way to watch your favorite TV shows from wherever you are in the world, and it's called a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

A VPN lets you get around the usual frustrating digital barriers by changing your IP address, meaning you can watch your favorite TV shows even if you're going to be away from home.

From laptops to smart TVs, Amazon Fire Sticks, games consoles, and even mobile phones, you can change the address to make your device think it's in a different location to enable you to watch the things you love around the world. 

ExpressVPN is one of the best VPNs out there. Not only because it is straightforward and easy to use, but it also has great security and, best of all, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

ExpressVPN is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now. You can try it out for a month without paying a penny, and if you sign up for an annual plan you can get 3 months' access absolutely free!

How to watch 'The Great Christmas Bake Off' 2021 online in the US

US readers hoping to watch The Great Christmas Bake Off 2021 might be waiting a long while. 

Over in the States, the competition is known as The Great British Baking Show and it airs on Netflix, but the holiday specials don't appear on Netflix for a while; the 2020 holiday specials only arrived on US Netflix at the start of December 2021.

So, it seems like you'll have to wait till the holidays in 2022 to see the It's A Sin cast whipping up a storm in the tent across the pond.
