thank you both very much appreciate. I had located some of the individual pids but the extra syntax restores some of the previous functionality at least, albeit now much more complicated following the Beeb's changes. What I had found useful before was searching say, the In our Time podcasts for a particular topic (has Melvyn done a programme on Socrates say?) so inputting
get_iplayer --type=podcast "socrates" --long would locate any (as well as any other podcast series covering same topic). But I think searches have to be more manual within podcast series on the BBC iplayer website as far as I understand it. I can also see it would be easy to download hundreds of podcasts one wouldn't want by using the pid method. I think there is a way in GiP to do a dummy run using the --pid=XXXXXXXX method...
