The command get_iplayer gives me a list of programmes with numbers in the first 
column.

Then the command get_iplayer --get 123 will download the programme with number 
123. However sometimes I receive a message that there is no iphone version, in 
this case I use the comand  

get_iplayer --type=tv --get 123 --modes=iphone,flashhigh,flashnormal --
flvstreamer=flvstreamer  (this command all on one line)

This works but does require the seperate programme flvstreamer, I downloaded 
the fedora version of this from the get_iplayer site and it seems to work fine.

I notice in the documentation that there is also an option to download a high 
quality flash version but I have not tried this.
