Yes it is... Many thanks...(though, TBH, I can't figure out why
you need to share with the rest of the world your postcode

Here's an example of not working with pidrecursive in options file
and then working after removal.
Why must you have "pidrecursive 1" inside your options file?
The "--pid-recersive" switch was intended to be only used in
conjuction with brand/series PIDs; b05nt1vb is just an episode PID,
so I'd say what you get is to be expected...
In fact, if you manually try to load
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05nt1vb/episodes/player?page=1
in a browser, you'll get a "Sorry, that page was not found" error...
With the XML feeds now permanently removed, GiP 3.00
relies only to webscraping to parse brand/series PIDs. In fact,
recursive downloading was unavailable after the removal of XML
feeds, since the JSON ones do not provide such function, but
was added (through XML page parsing) in the following commit:
https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/commit/1032f22
If, while the XML feeds were still alive, GiP 2.99- would not error out
when fed an episode PID with "pidrecursive 1" present inside options,
then I'd say that was a "bugged" behaviour,
whereas the current one is "normal"
