I'm not getting any messages. The output file has the warranty 
disclaimer followed by a list of 'matched' programs & ends with "INFO: 
974 Matching Programmes"

I may have given you a wrong PID. I wasn't trying to record a whole 
series/brand, just one show.

Try this one:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.cmd" -o 
"C:\Downloads\BBC\" --refresh --force -f --modes=best --pid b01mxvr5 --i -v

Which should be this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mxvr5

I've added a couple of other options to hopefully help but didn't.
