you can find it by adding -v to the get_iplayer command line, and the
atomicparsley command line will be buried somewhere in the vast
output.

I've seen AtomicParsley barf unhelpfully on a number of occasions when
the input file doesn't match its expectations (usually when the input
file is broken, sometimes when AtomicParsley just has a bug).  More
recent versions are more stable.  (I couldn't reproduce your problem.
:-( )

Could you confirm which versions of get_iplayer, ffmpeg and
AtomicParsley you're using please?
$ get_iplayer --help | head
$ ffmpeg
$ AtomicParsley -v

and if you're using ppa:jon-hedgerows/get-iplayer also:
$ ffmpeg-static -v

thanks
Jon
