BBC News pages

[Rob Styles]

Hi,

I'm trying to grab two pieces from BBC News to archive, but don't seem
to be able to get it quite right. The first is an interview with
Michael Gove <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-12018733> and the
second is an interview with Gareth Malone
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11312110>.

I have tried various commands based on the documentation in github:

./get_iplayer "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-12018733"
./get_iplayer "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-12018733" --modes=flashstd

--modes=flashnormal
./get_iplayer --verbose --type=tv
--url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-12018733
./get_iplayer tv:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-12018733

These fail mostly with:

INFO: No specified modes (iphone,flashhigh,flashstd,flashnormal)
available for this programme with version 'default' (try using
--modes=)

and the Gareth Malone interview suggest model flashaudio which results
in the audio track from a different piece, a radio piece by Nicola
Stanbridge, being downloaded.

Please could someone help me work out what's going on and how I can
grab these pieces?

Using get_iplayer v2.78 and perl v5.8.9 on OS X 10.6.6
