Please could somebody give me some

You'd better stay away from FFmpeg - it transforms
the image file to a video stream; this is not what you want!
Use a dedicated MP4/M4A tagger, like AtomicParsley,
MP4Box etc.

If on Windows and prefer a GUI, Peter's suggestion works fine!
If you are not trimming/deleting your get_iplayer history file and
you've managed to get AP properly installed now, there's a good
chance your history file contains entries for those tagless files.
E.g. if your tagless mp4/m4a file corresponds to pid=xxxxxxxx,
you can place it inside GiP's download folder (where it was
initially created) and then "tag from history":
get_iplayer --history pid:xxxxxxxx --tag-only
This should work if
1. There's only ONE instance of xxxxxxxx inside history;
I have found that if I re-downloaded via --force and a second
instance was created, the above command fails
(@ dinkypumpkin: possible bug?).
2. The file was not downloaded before the Oct 2014 BBC
changes (death of XML feeds). In that case, history points
to a non-existing thumbnail resource.
