 today.  Since then I had to clear out  a .xsessions-errors
 which had taken up all the free space on the file system,
 and then I rebooted.  Is there likely to be any

 Perhaps when
 you ran out of disk space, .get_iplayer/radio.cache
 (and/or
 some other files there) became
 corrupted..

Yep - a bit of fiddling around moving/deleting  the cache and it worked fine.  Should have tried what the error message suggested in the first place , as --refresh with the corrupted cache in situ did indeed solve the problem!.  Thanks for the pointer.
