In view of all the problems I decided simply to download the latest 
get_iplayer and run it from my own bin directory.  The first problem was 
no links on the BBC iPlayer site to a download.  Everything ended up at 
iPlayer Desktop so I had to google for the script.  Found it at 
LinuxCentre http://linuxcentre.net/getiplayer/download.  So has the BBC 
withdrawn support for get_iplayer by itself?

The good news is that the get_iplayer --get nnn command now works.
