It comes back with 0 matching programs, if I do a search by pid works
fine, can anyone explain why porridge is not a valid keyword for
finding the programs.

The programmes have not been broadcast in the last 30 days, so they will not be cached. As you say, you can use --pid and --pid-recursive. This is what the documentation says.

Indexing and caching

Cache basics

get_iplayer maintains a local cache of programme data indexed from BBC schedules. This is used for searching and support of PVR functionality. Key points to remember:

Indexing only covers programmes scheduled for broadcast on BBC linear services in the past 30 days. BBC Three, iPlayer exclusives and red button programmes are not indexed.
