I was seeing the problem with RTMPDump v2.3 as well (on OSX).  The 
download would always kick off, but eventually rtmpdump would fail (on 
first connection drop/retry cycle) with a Client Verification error.  I 
would guess this is what happened for others as well.

However: As I suspected, this appears to have been just a temporary 
hiccup at the BBC end.  For the moment at least, the request for the 
flash player file is no longer returning a redirect (HTTP 301) to me in 
the UK, so rtmpdump works OK.  Perhaps they were just moving servers, or 
the redirect only went to certain networks.  No idea.  At any rate, 
normal programming appears to have been resumed.  If anyone is still 
seeing this problem, post to this thread and attach a log from 
get_iplayer run with the --verbose option.
