However, in both cases an individual subtitle line begins with:

"-  ", i.e. a dash and a double space.

get_iplayer does that when it sees structure that indicates multiple speakers in a single subtitle. Unfortunately, this new subtitle format uses that structure even when there is only one speaker, so hyphens get prepended even though unnecessary.

that if the first line of a two-lined sub is shorter than the second,
then it is pushed slightly to the right so as to be more "centered":

The SRT files don't carry any sort of alignment or positioning information, so it's left up to the media player how to display subtitles. I expect most players will centre each line.
