Thank you very much  :-) ; that works OK with the latest AP on my (test) 
file, pid=p00k9js2:

INFO: Recorded D:\Vangelis\iPlayer Recordings\Health Check - 
28_09_2011[p00k9js2].m4a file

Wide character in print at get_iplayer.pl line 3530.
INFO: Downloaded Thumbnail to 'D:\Vangelis\iPlayer Recordings\Health Check -

09_2011[p00k9js2].jpg'
INFO: MP4 tagging M4A file

 Started writing to temp file.
 Progress: =>  2% ------------------------------------------------------|
 Finished writing to temp file.

 The offending "curly quote" in the original metadata is in the phrase:

"...James Copnall, the BBC's correspondent in South Sudan, reports."

In the "lyrics" section of the tagged m4a file, MediaInfo reports this as:

"...James Copnall, the BBC?s correspondent in South Sudan, reports."

BTW, this file practically never expires (209901010000), use it freely for 
any tests needed in writing your final patch.

Cheers, Vangelis.
