Eh? Surely this film is way older than that? ISTR first seeing it in
the 70s? Let's see what IMDB says, yes, thought so, 1971.

Sorry that was a terrible example on my part! No idea what I was
thinking LOL. I guess my wish would be that get_iplayer would only
return a releaseyear if one was provided and not return <firstbcastyear>
when one is not as this not the release year and <firstbcastyear> is
available separately in the metadata returned anyway...
As above, use the form ...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/<pid>
... to find a page for a programme that remains accessible even after it
has lapsed from iPlayer.
Yes I was aware of that form but that does not provide as much info as
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/<pid> does (i.e. the year) for
content that has not lapsed...
