I know workarounds aren't necessarily welcome, so I apologise, but the
way I would download these (I think - I'm into electronic music off the
radio) would be to just do a text search for the series, and -g it.

 get_iplayer --type=radio --nopurge bedtime

Add -g to the above command and all matches for "bedtime" will be
downloaded, and programmes already downloaded will be skipped. I think
that reproduces what you are trying to do using pids.
