Looks OK, and works fine for me:

get_iplayer --pvradd --type=radio --fields=episode "Thursday Opera Matinee"

then

get_iplayer --pvr

Boom - got me some Rossini.

Did you already download the programme?  If so, it won't download again 
unless you force it. And don't use --pvr with --pvradd - it will be ignored.

Also, you can use:

get_iplayer --pvr --test

to check your PVR searches without downloading.

If the above isn't working for you, I'm out of advice.  Those are the 
simplest commands I can think of to do what you want, and they work fine 
here.
