Reply to the list, not to me.

I didn't say the programme wasn't on the iPlayer site - I said it didn't 
play in HD on the iPlayer site.  It still doesn't, and it still isn't 
available to get_iplayer.

I suspect your URL isn't legitimate or was published in error.  If you 
look at the SD player page:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01ql9xk/Danny_Bakers_Great_Album_Showdown_File_under_Pop/

there is no link to watch in HD.  That's true for all 3 episodes in the 
series. You can stick "/hd/" after the PID in an iPlayer URL and the 
iPlayer site will construct an HD player page even if an HD version 
isn't available.  Unsurprisingly, it just won't play anything.  Even if 
a show is repeated on BBC HD - as was the case here - the Beeb won't 
necessarily make an HD version available.
