Diane Morgan can do no wrong. From bringing us hilarious but toe-curling moments as Philomena Cunk to being her deadpan best as the perpetual mouth chewing Mandy, she's an absolute comedy genius.
Let's not forget she was one of the best contestants ever to appear on Last One Laughing. Now, the comic legend has a new series out, and Ann Droid is going to be just as unmissable as everything else Diane has done.
Airing on BBC One and iPlayer from July 17, Diane stars as an artificially intelligent humanoid robot named Linda in the 6-part series. Set somewhere in the near future, Linda is assigned to care for elderly widow Sue (Sue Johnston.)
Second hand and slightly dysfunctional, Linda 'cares' for Sue with hilarious results. This is definitely one not to be missed - and you don't have to, as we share how to tune in from anywhere in the world.

How to watch Ann Droid from anywhere in the world
If you’re going to be away from your usual TV set-up when Ann Droid starts airing, but don't want to wait a single moment to see Diane Morgan turn her hand to playing a hapless robot, there's no need to worry.
You can still enjoy all six episodes available, with the use of a Virtual Private Network - a VPN.
A VPN allows you to change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to the show, even if you're not there.
Our sister site, TechRadar, has tested all of the major VPN services and they rate Nord to be the absolute best.
They say, "It’s compatible with all of your devices, supports most streaming services, and ranks among the fastest. You can even install it on devices like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, and PlayStation. So for a one-stop-shop, you can’t go wrong with Nord."
If you've never installed a VPN before, don't worry, it's quick and easy. Just follow these three steps:
- Download and install the VPN following NordVPN's easy-to-follow instructions.
- Once you've installed your VPN, open the app and select your server location as anywhere in the UK.
- With your VPN installed and server location set to UK, you can now watch Ann Droid on BBC iPlayer.
