... Yes and no... If you browse to:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p016tl04/episodes/player
you'll see there exist two distinct entries for
"Former US Vice President Al Gore on Climate Change":
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w172vg029mkl852
(which looks more like the proper episode page) and
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05c2b9j
I haven't listened to them fully to compare them,
both are listed as being 52min59sec in duration...
The next ("Trump... ") episode of the series is still
only available as a "w" PID. And on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p029zl67/episodes/player
latest episode is still available as an 8-digit "w" PID :-(
The crux of the matter is that these "w"-PID progs
are not recordable with the current iteration of GiP,
not even when the progs are indexed inside the
radio.cache and one uses "<index> --get" to fetch!
Haven't seen the figures for UK audiences, but
I'll let you know WSR is very popular overseas!

Firstly it would have to be ... {8,14},
otherwise shorter ones would not be picked up.
Rather "{7,14}", since the minimum character length
of a PID is 8...
But there is a potential problem with [a-z0-9]
because it would pick out many normal English words,
for example, ironically, 'programmes' and 'programming'.
Again, forgive me for being obtuse, still learning things,
but isn't that scenario assuming one actually inputs
--pid="programming"
into a GiP command? (and in that case, even if the string
is validated as a PID, the playlist.json URL will not
return any vpid for that PID, hence no download...).
Best regards,
Vangelis.
