I came across a good series on iPlayer after watching LoD that follows organised crime detectives in Manchester: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000tj14 (the team is called MIT too, no DCI Davidson though…)
Really interesting to see a real life investigation after hearing OCG mentioned so many times. They’re nasty pieces of work!
I've had the same issue. I use the paid version of NordVPN and was able to use iPlayer for maybe month and then the BBC must have figured out how to block it. It seems to go back and forth - sometimes it works, BBC gets wise, Nord changes something, lather, rinse, repeat.
Unfortunately not all episodes? 1-2 missing and others expiring in coming days. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b00df5nm/between-the-lines
