Thanks that works here for one programme of a series of four.  What is 
not clear to me is how to find out what the pid is for a particular 
programme or series of programmes. I have looked at the various 
instructions for downloading pids while we have been having this 
exchange and tried a few options without success thus far.

To be specific I would like to find the pids for the programmes here

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/collections/p01m79bn/blues

and download them either individually or as a batch

Michael
