If you tell GiP to use --mediaselector=4 it seems to download successfully.

The command I used in the end was

get_iplayer --modes=best --url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/xml/10/801.xml" --force --mediaselector=4

Normally you would use the page url "http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/great_egg_race/10801.shtml" in the command and GiP would find the .xml from that, but it seems here you need to use the .xml Vangelis found as the url for it to work.
