--listformat only has access to the fields in the cache, but the fields 
you want to use unfortunately are only populated when a programme is 
actually downloaded.

You just need to add back the angle brackets for the latter:

listformat <pid>,<name>


Below is a sample command with all the fields available to --listformat:

get_iplayer numtums 
--listformat="|<index>|<type>|<name>|<pid>|<available>|<episode>|<seriesnum>|<episodenum>|<versions>|<duration>|<desc>|<channel>|<categories>|<thumbnail>|<timeadded>|<guidance>|<web>|"
