I use Nord VPN and am able to watch BBC, ITV and Channel 4 from Germany without issue.
I've installed the VPN app, along with BBC iPlayer and its commercial equivalents, onto an Amazon Firestick that is permanently plugged into the back of my TV. I can now watch British TV, both live and on catch-up. (If anyone has ever had to suffer German TV, you'll understand the lengths I'm prepared to go to...)

But I’m digressing.

Don’t forget there’s MORE excitement tonight ... ITV at 20:00, and on a VPN near you.
Oooh, I can’t wait! 
Inside the terminal seasoned pro Demi dishes out deals for delayed passengers, and outside on the airfield, airside Ian is on the runway as it goes into lockdown. S5 Ep2

A lot of people still don’t know about EU261 so you’ve got the once a year traveller moaning on one hand about rebooking yet jumping for joy with £1070 and a 4 hr delay into BKK with his Girlfriend I’d say they were going to have a pretty special holiday.
Not too sure quite what to make of your Eurovision photo + accompanying comment

Yes, EU 261 ... the human face of aviation. And I’m quite sure that made that young couple VERY happy.
For 4 hours, that was a nice outcome. Our only 261 did NOT compensate for the loss of a pre-paid day’s AI hotel in Jamaica

Inflated descriptions to make the ordinary sound exciting enough to sit through.

Would actually be interesting to see what they were doing about it. Less dramatic than LGW, but better than shouting at starlings...

I am sure there are cheaper versions as well, I did a very quick search.
Not so sure Eu 261 helps everyone, but a 4 hour wait realistically easy to do.
