When I use Firefox 21.0 and navigate to said URL, I do not press
the play button on the embedded video player, instead I focus on the
"carousel" right under it; the video shown in the player (Glastonbury
 - Radiohead at Glastonbury 1997) is the first on the left.
Press the thumbnail of that video in the carousel and take a closer look
at your browser's URL bar; it has now turned to:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/a74b1b7f-71a5-4011-9441-d0b5e4122711#p00trtg3

There it is: p00trtg3 is the video's PID!

(This video is UK-only, my physical location is blocked, so if I press play 
on the player, I
get a "media selection request failed" error; right click on the player, 
"copy error message" and I
get:

EMP v.3.1.0.r749603_749269_749444_6
 Playlist URL : http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlist/p00trtg3/
 Error code : MediationError [0] : media selection request failed
null

this is another method to acquire the video PID).

Video can then be downloaded (from a UK IP) using the pid method in 
get_iplayer
(proxy details hidden, or else it will die a sudden death!):

get_iplayer -p 
"http://host:3128" -i --pid=p00trtg3 --modes=flashvhigh --partial-proxy --force 
 -w --file-prefix="Radiohead at Glastonbury 1997"

 Repeating the same procedure for the other videos on the carousel, will get 
them on your disk.
So, Chris Dunne ENJOY!
