I've noticed this now a couple of times on different downloads - I give GiP a PID on the command line, and it errors out on a different PID number.
The PID you provide on the command line represents the main program entity, in this case, "World Championship Snooker Extra, 2018, Day 8". Using that PID you can load the program page in your browser, and GiP can get information about it.
There is, however, no media associated with that PID. Each program can have multiple versions, and the main PID is not assumed to represent one single version. For example, a TV episode might have an original version, a version which has been edited, a version which carries audio description for the blind, and yet another version which carries sign language. A radio episode of The Archers might have an original broadcast version and an edited, podcast version.
Each version is represented by yet another PID, so when GiP reports that it had a problem downloading a PID different to what you gave it, it's reporting that it failed to download a specific version. If a program has multiple versions, or you want a particular one, you can supply it by name on the command line using the --versions parameter.
