I think that that isn't an error, just a statement of fact.  It's quite
usual for programmes one chooses to fetch by pid not to be listed in the
cache - that's why one does use the pid method.

>and fails with "no programmes are available for this pid ..."

- which means when get_iplayer reads the programme details (from a webpage -
or at least a resource that's fetchable as if it were a webpage - whose name
depends on the pid) it doesn't find the info that tells it where to fetch
the programme from.
