Neither for TV

As you've found, tagging in get_iplayer at the moment is one size fits
all. I'm sure it is possible to implement a profile / template based
tagging option but I assume it would be quite an effort (in both time
and perl knowledge) to do so!

Perhaps one of the devs on this list has enough of both to have a go
at it. Whilst I have the time I unfortunately don't have the required
perl-fu.
