Hi,
Tor wouldn't be suitable for this as it has a variety of endpoints
around the world it could shove your internet through: thus, their is
no guarantee that you are browsing through a UK endpoint: in fact
you're probably not.
Use a proxy service you know is in the UK, or which lets you select a
UK endpoint.

access iplayer then fair enough.
I have a UK based VM, on which I'm able to set up a squid
proxy. Theoretically this allows me to access iplayer when I
travel. Allegedly.
