I've downloaded 3.17 now.
$ ./get_iplayer --long-help |& grep recursive
--pid-recursive Record all related episodes if value of --pid
is a series or brand PID. Requires --pid.
--pid-recursive-list If value of --pid is a series or brand PID,
list available episodes but do not download.
Implies --pid-recursive. Requires --pid.

Those `five digit number' are indexes, not PIDs. The --pid option does
not change the meaning of arguments from indexes to PIDs; it takes a
single argument that is a comma-separated list of PIDs.
