If you search for "Marvellous" on the iPlayer site it will tell you that 
the programme is no longer available (it is available via the programme 
website).  The metadata used by get_iplayer also says the programme is 
unavailable, so there is no way for get_iplayer to discover the 
streaming feeds to download.  The metadata may be broken, or this may be 
a change in the way programmes are archived.  Perhaps it's a casualty of 
the switchover to 28-day availability
