I'm trying to download the Radio 4 Book of the Week 'Periodic Tales'

But, if I try and narrow the search down using any of the following then
it finds no matches:

get_iplayer --type radio "Book of the Week - Periodic Tales"
get_iplayer --type radio "Periodic Tales"
get_iplayer --type radio "Book of the Week - "

As far as I can tell the search is terminated by a '-' in the programme
name.

That's correct. The presentation is "name - episode", so to search for "Periodic Tales" you need to search the episode instead of (or as well as) the programme name. The --long option is a quick way of specifying this (but see --fields for the detail):

get-iplayer --type radio --long 'Periodic Tales'
