Streaming service paralysis (79/365)

T is watching rugby, so I thought I might watch something on my laptop. Unfortunately, the thing I'm currently watching is Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, which is only available on Virgin catch-up via the TiVo box and not online. Logging in to the Virgin online service to confirm this I was offered A Discovery of Witches, which I thought might be terrible but undemanding with bonus Oxford geography failures, but it wants a PIN to watch "adult content" which isn't the same as the one for the box and which neither of us know. Obviously, I have all of iPlayer, Netflix and Prime to choose from, so the chances of me finding anything I want to watch in time to watch it before bedtime seem pretty slim.

(ETA: I have returned after my 15-minute timeout and tried entering 0000, which worked, so A Discovery of Witches it is.)
