Can we get any UK Television Programmes in Australia

Sorry to be a bore on this subject BUT............as title says.........Can we get anything like stream TV etc so that we can watch Strictly Come Dancing OR Dancing On Ice? I don't watch much TV at all but these are the only programmes that I may be missing in the grand scheme of things! To be honest TV is not top of my "to do" list whilst in OZ but would be nice once in a while! Any suggestions much appreciated! Oh! AND I missed the rest of "I'd Do Anything"...............Can you tell I like Musical Theatre and Dancing

TV is really rubbish in Oz... everyone goes to bed at about 9 pm as everthing closes down and it is dark very early compared to the long balmy summer evenings in the UK.

Take no notice of Earlswood, we do get a lot of English TV however the programmes you have mentioned we do not get unless UKTV on Foxtel decide to show them (like Sky) but we get heaps of Uk dramas etc., but you will be too busy outside in the sunshine to worry about those shows anyway so why worry?

Hi, Australia have they own versions of both these shows. I too enjoy watching them in the UK, and would have no hesitation watching the oz versions. Torvill and Dean both work on the oz version of dancing on ice, don't know much about the strictly version, except I think its called dancing with the stars like the american version. I do believe someone out of home and away won it last year.

We have Austar which is like Sky...we do get the UKTV channel but alas not the shows you have mentioned..
We do have Top Gear, Eastenders,Corrie, Emmerdale, Doctor Who.. Alwya a slice of the gorgeous Gordon Ramsey too.. oh The Bill, Trinny n Susannah too
Oz tv is rubbish but really thats not a bad thing as we are generally busy chillin on the patio.
