I've just tried it and it has downloaded fine for me from the command
line.
Further to this post, I've noticed the same error message coming up a
number of times with a variety of programmes over this weekend, one such
example was "Sunday Politics North West". The BBC iPlayer website was
showing the programme as "Not Available" even late into yesterday
evening, long after the programme broadcast time of late morning. This
morning, however, the iPlayer website shows the programme as available
and get_iplayer downloads it fine. However, there are a number of
programmes from yesterday which are still not available, an unusual
delay for the Beeb.
It would appear that this type of message appears when there is a delay
by the BBC in making the programme available, so I would recommend
trying again later. The other comment I would make is that I've noticed
that even though a programme sometimes doesn't initially appear in the
cache, it can often be downloaded earlier using the URL.
