When I run:

get_iplayer -i "The Sound and the Fury in Concert"

these come up:

pid:            p014sm7h
verpids:      default: p02hj93w

pid:            p015319h
verpids:      default: p02hj77c

pid:            p01531w2
verpids:      default: p02hj7r0

In v2.91, GiP tries by default to extract the vPID parameter
by loading the following template URL:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/[pid].rdf
vPID is found inside the <po:version rdf:resource= entry.
Unfortunately, all three of your target programmes produce
two such entries, so 2.91 gets confused; only tries the first one,
which DOES NOT RETURN any streams
(only the secondvalue does...).
I am pretty confident this issue has been dealt with in the
"develop" branch of GiP 2.92:

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/tree/develop

but for tag 2.91 you can retry your download commands
employing the --playlist-metadata switch:

get_iplayer --pid=p01531w2 --playlist-metadata --modes=flashvhigh --force --subtitles

C:\Program Files\get_iplayer>perl 
get_iplayer-gd1caff0.pl --pid=p01531w2 --playl
ist-metadata --modes=flashvhigh --force --subtitles
