Sorry, downloading from BBC iPlayer is only available in the UK (why?).
and why goes:

The BBC uses Geo-IP technology to identify where your are based on the 
location of your internet service provider (ISP). This ensures that only 
internet users in the UK can enjoy programmes on BBC iPlayer - you can 
read our advice to find out more about on-demand rights.

If you download a programme to your laptop or a portable hard drive, you 
can watch this wherever you are in the world. However, you will only be 
able to download new programmes once you return to the UK.
