This is a list of the modes you permit get_iplayer to download in.

Because the BBC's iPlayer site doesn't have that programme available in any of the modes you permit get_iplayer to download in.

$ get_iplayer -i "Lost Land of the Volcano" | grep -i modes
modes:          default: flashhd1,flashhd2,rtsphd1,rtsphd2
modesizes:      default: flashhd1=1406MB,flashhd2=1406MB,rtsphd1=1406MB,rtsphd2=1406MB
modes:          default: flashhd1,flashhd2,rtsphd1,rtsphd2
modesizes:      default: flashhd1=1406MB,flashhd2=1406MB,rtsphd1=1406MB,rtsphd2=1406MB

Try using "--modes=flashhd,rtsphd" (as get_iplayer told you) or add one of these modes to your options.
Then use `--get --force`
