PBS is free over-the-air in the U.S., so the only thing PBS checks for is whether your internet address is indeed in the U.S.
Fortunately, there's an app for that! I use https://www.tunnelbear.com/ TunnelBear, a free utility which connects your UK internet to a US server. Magically, the US server looks like the origin of the streaming request. (You can mimic connections to servers all over the world!)

Test it first:

If that works, then you're in!
Sometime between 22 and 30 October, visit

episodes are kept for a week minimum, although some stay up for years.
(I used these tools to watch Sherlock premieres, until BBC required proof of paid licence).
