Hello Nick,

Not tried this out lately on TV, but only on radio. If I try it on
Peaky Blinders:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b045fz8r

It lists both series, and provides a pid for each. If it try my
suggested command using the series 2 pid b04kkm8q then it tells
me that they are all in my download history.

If I try your pid then it fails, as you say.

So this is a mystery to me but it may be that the web page
you list is not a series page but a collection of several separate
programs, connected only by the subject matter.

Sorry I can't help further.
