Not sure what's happening - but seemed to download OK (but a tad short
of 30 mins)
Tried this twice but with identical results.

Hi Chris
Nothing to be concerned about. Although my download was 27m13s, the
programme plays in full plus a continuity announcement at the end. I
note from my logs that I downloaded the same programme on 13th Feb 2017
when the downloaded programme was 26m49s - on that occasion, the
programme played in full but without the continuity announcement at the
end.
Some radio programmes have been known to be truncated (usually a problem
at the Beeb's end, where due care has not been taken, rather than a
download). Although I've never reported the radio ones, I have on, a
number of occasions reported truncated TV programmes and, whenever
possible, the Beeb have been very obliging and uploaded corrected versions.
I've had one hour programmes where only a few minutes played, but the
worst has often been during Wimbledon when there have been 3 or even 4
visits to the courts. They really get in a muddle when they change the
intended PID of the programme! On one occasion, visit 2 was totally
screwed up and visit 3 was uploaded twice but with different PIDs! As
I've said, they are usually very responsive in trying to correct errors.
