A Linux shell interprets those literally as well when passing arguments to a

with echo, for example, that the magic happens. Fear not the backslash.

The backslash escapes the quote character, so the value of the -o
parameter isn't terminated. That means that get_iplayer never sees
any of the following arguments on the command line. This means
get_iplayer effectively runs without arguments and
