So probably the client (web browser) probably broadcasts as UK, but when the IP itself is probed on connection to the video server, the real geolocation is exposed as it's not actually where it claims... it doesn't generate an error because the website isn't written to report a silent failure in the server connection. It gives a very fast error pop up instead.

HolaVPN does free VPN via peer-to-peer, so using that...
God I hated VPN issues when I lived in NZ and wanted to watch UK shows. I feel your pain.
