Problems downloading a programme

Using Win 7 64 bit
I do most of my downloading from batch files running from the command
line. I've already downloaded successfully the first three programmes in
the BBC 2 series "Tropic of Capricorn" but hit a problem with the latest
programme in the series "Tropic of Capricorn - 4. Chile to Brazil" (Sat
13th Sept at 16:05)
My download request results in the following:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer>get_iplayer --type=tv --tvmode=best
--get "tropic of capricorn"

I've tried downloading with
get_iplayer --type=tv --tvmode=best --get 1205
with the same results.
Using the URL
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0094l8y/ad/tropic-of-capricorn-4-chile-to-brazil)
I get:

Yet the programme downloads successfully using the BBC's own iPlayer.
I'm really stuck knowing what to do next.
Thanks
