This appears to be a flaw in get_iplayer. Basically, when you use
--versions to request non-default versions of the programme, get_iplayer
assumes that the only available alternatives are "audiodescribed" and
"signed", so it requests the metadata for the audiodescribed/signed
version and bypasses the alternate "default" version. It does that even
though it correctly generates a "default2" version identifier for the
20-minute edition. This must be a very rare case, but it should be
possible to amend get_iplayer to accommodate. I'll post when I have a fix.
