"The Claudia Winkleman Show" is arriving with plenty of buzz as it takes over BBC One’s prestigious late Friday night talk show slot, usually home to "The Graham Norton Show". Produced by So Television – the same team behind Norton’s long-running hit – it promises a slick, big-name studio show with Claudia’s unmistakable twist.
You can watch "The Claudia Winkleman Show" online from anywhere with a VPN (try risk-free) – and potentially for free.
"The Claudia Winkleman Show" starts on Friday, March 13, at 10:40 p.m. on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK.
• U.K. — BBC One (live) and BBC iPlayer (live and on demand)

Instead of the usual high-octane party vibe, Claudia has joked that her ideal is for guests to feel so comfortable they might “fall asleep” while she quizzes them about their “favourite biscuits”.
The BBC is clearly leaning into her “national treasure” status, betting that she can put everyone at ease – from Hollywood A-listers to unsuspecting audience members. The first episode kicks off with an on-brand sofa lineup: Jeff Goldblum, Vanessa Williams, Jennifer Saunders, and Tom Allen.
Below, we’ll explain how to stream “The Claudia Winkleman Show” online – including how to keep watching from anywhere with a VPN if you’re temporarily outside the UK.

Watch 'The Claudia Winkleman Show' from anywhere
If you’re travelling outside the UK and suddenly find BBC iPlayer blocked, a VPN can help by making it look as though you’re back home. That’s particularly useful if you already have access to iPlayer and just want to keep using it while you’re temporarily abroad.
We regularly test VPNs for speed, reliability, and streaming performance. Right now, NordVPN is one of the strongest all-round picks, with easy-to-use apps on most devices and consistently fast servers.
Using a VPN is simple.
1. Install the VPN app on the device you’ll watch on. NordVPN is our pick.
2. Connect to a server in your home country. For example, choose a UK server to access BBC iPlayer while abroad.
3. Open your streaming app and play as normal.
