C4 support in get-flash-videos was updated last week.  Many (though not 
all) programmes may now be available for 30 days after broadcast. 
However, there are still at least a few programmes that g-f-v doesn't 
find even though they actually are available.  That's down to the 
content cataloguing by C4 rather than any glitch in g-f-v.

OP: Clone the g-f-v repository to get the very latest code  (Nigel's C4 
changes have been merged).  There isn't much to it, but instructions are 
here if you didn't get g-f-v that way before:

A couple of notes:

1. You'll need to use the full URL for the specific episode you want:

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/a-great-british-air-disaster/4od#3485113

instead of

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/a-great-british-air-disaster/4od

2. Along with all the dependencies shown as missing in your earlier 
report, you'll also need to install the Crypt::Blowfish_PP Perl module 
(used by the C4 module in g-f-v).
