This version of FFmpeg has been compiled without "libfaac" enabled.

So (for now) use FFmpeg's own "aac" codec instead of "libfaac".
Using your Windows get_iplayer version of FFmpeg....
Try again with this command:-
ffmpeg -i filename.mkv -t 60 -vf "scale=1280:trunc(ow/a/2)*2" -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac -ab 128k -ac 2 -strict experimental filename.mp4
