What I'd like to see - and I think this would be a big enough change
that this is really more of a suggestion for the download client that
gets written for the successor to iPlayer - is a conventionally
Unix-like nest of programs that each do one thing, but talk to each
other; they could then be connected by a (textual, GUI or web-based)
interface.

These "one thing"s might be, for example: searching the programme
listings for specific titles/etc.; taking a single programme ID and
converting it to be something to be fed into getrtsp; remuxing and/or
transcoding the output from getrtsp; tagging.
