It's possible to change the DVD region for a PC or laptop (so that you could play the DVD on that) but you can only do it a handful of times before the device becomes locked to whichever region it was last set to. If you need instructions for that solution, see here:

Older DVD players were actually made as 'region free', with the region coding then added before they were sent out from the factory. Such DVD players could be 'hacked' back to region-free status by following simple instructions available on the internet (which usually required little more than opening the drawer and using the handset to enter a special code). However modern DVD players (and Blu-ray ones) are designed differently, so that they can't be hacked.

Licensing restrictions mean that region-free (a.k.a. 'multi-region') DVD players shouldn't be sold in the UK but there are still some offered on Amazon. Prices start from around £25 if you don't mind only having a Scart connection or about £35 if you want HDMI.

So it comes down to
(a) changing the region coding on your PC/laptop ; or
(b) buying (or borrowing) a multi-region player ; or
(c) waiting for the programme/movie to become available on a Region 2 disc. (I bought a Region 4 disc, to play on my multi-region player, from New Zealand because the movie wasn't available at that time in Region 2 format. A few months later it was!)
