Finally got my grubby mitts on a UK iTunes card and the process works:

make sure you are logged out of the CA store
enter UK store
hit redeem
create account using fake-real address (if anyone asks, I'm living at the Dolphin in Blandford Forum ), etc
payment method: none
and (as they say) Bob's your uncle!

And, yes, some of the content is worth the bother...

I've used US Gift cards in the UK and Sweden and it works lika a charm. The trick is to find a reliable supplier so you don't get your iTunes account closed down by Apple.
I get my codes from http://iTunes-GiftCards.com and they have been great! They are also the cheapest source of legitimate gift cards that I have found!

$64 for a $50 card is hardly a bargain

You can rent HD movies from the Canadian iTunes store, so no need for a U.S. account (but the U.S. store might have a better selection of movies).
