Watch Boybands Forever: Preview

Arriving just weeks after the untimely death of Liam Payne, Boybands Forever pulls back the curtain on what life was really like for some of the biggest groups of the 90s and 00s, including Take That, Blue, Westlife, East 17 and Five. Here's how to watch Boybands Forever online and stream every episode 100% free on BBC iPlayer from anywhere with a VPN.

Robbie Williams heads up a multitude of household names with plenty to say about the music label bosses and managers that flogged them for all they were worth when times were good, the bulk of the proceeds often doing a mysterious disappearing act, only to ditch them the moment someone more profitable came along.

If the "Angels" singer, and contemporaries like Anthony Costa, Simon Webbe, Duncan James and Brian McFadden, were hoping to find their former bosses in reflective mood, however, they'll be sorely disappointed. The unapologetic convictions of Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh in particular serve only to lend further credence to the former popstars' sobering accounts.

Produced by Louis Theroux and his wife Nancy Strang, read on as we explain how to watch Boybands Forever online and binge all three episodes for free from anywhere.
