The URLs for the separate programmes all end in a /pxxxxxxx value, different
for each one.  That's the pid.

If you want to extract them automatically from the webpage, rather than just
c&p from a browser page, that's more complicated.  You'd need to be able to
program something to read through the source of the webpage and extract the
right bits of text.  Get_iplayer already does that for some formats of
webpages (or at least the pages that describe feeds), of course.
