The first/last broadcast dates do not come from the iPlayer web pages.

Works fine here.  Since both first and last broadcast dates are missing, 
I suspect that the download failed for the metadata file containing 
those bits of data.  It's also possible the data was incomplete.  It 
happens, albeit rarely.  Give it another try.
