PVR Problem caused by invalid PC date

Hi,
In February I managed to accidentally change my PC's date to 29th March
2011, it got reset back to the right date after a few days.
However in the meantime get_iplayer had run in pvr mode and created a
radio.cache file with the end of March date on it.
After that each time get_iplayer ran in PVR mode it checked to see if it
should refresh the radio "feed" it decided it didn't need to because it
wasn't old (in fact it was dated in the future, although it contained
only programs from Feb.).
This behaviour continued even when the date was fixed on the PC, because
the cache file's date didn't change.
I diagnosed this problem and fixed it today by simply deleting the
radio.cache file and get_iplayer created a new one with the latest data
and correct date.
However this date issue has caused the PVR to miss some programmes that
I wanted, I'm not fussed about most of them but there's one
:"Just_a_Minute_Series_59_-_Episode_5" that I'd like to listen to.
Is there anywhere I can get this program from now it's expired from
iPlayer? Has someone perhaps still got their download and could share
it with me please? According to the web it should of had Paul Merton,
Gyles Brandreth, Shappi Khorsandi and Rick Wakeman, on the panel.
Thanks,
Michael
