Hello Alastair!
Pardon me if I misunderstood, but isn't STV
(http://www.stv.tv/) a Scottish version of ITV?
You mention the cache, i.e. GiP's tv.cache -
do STV carry BBC programmes too?
Lady Lairds - Episode 2, BBC One Scotland
(snip)
On going to the BBC website however and checking
the schedules I see this programme
does not show on the schedules.
Where exactly did you search for it?
If GiP states it was shown on BBC One Scotland,
it is those schedules you should probe
(Scottish regional variation):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/programmes/schedules/scotland
And yes, it does appear in
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/programmes/schedules/scotland/2016/03/14
21:00 Lady Lairds Episode 2
At the Auchlyne estate, Emma ploughs on with tradition.

WARNING: No programme versions found

Since afaik Scotland is still in the UK,
That message produced by GiP is just a generic one
(and indeed misleading if in the UK), which offers one
explanation why "No programme versions" were found.
Since GiP now uses the schedules feeds, some entries in
the tv.cache may correspond to non-downloadable programmes,
either because of rights issues or simply because they have
not yet been encoded for iPlayer distribution.
Your foul was your eagerness to download - when I started
typing this e-mail, a mere navigation to
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b073mlfh
said "This programme will be available soon".
As I finish this now, the show is ready!
Happy viewing!
Regards,
Vangelis.
