You can download programmes with such 'forbidden' characters - they're 
stripped by default.  The place you have to be careful is when you use 
--whitespace to allow whitespace in your output file names.  On Windows, 
--fatfilename is also required if you use --whitespace.  If you use the 
Git HEAD version of get_iplayer, that is now done for you automatically.
