 DP fixed it tonight in the develop branch - with the first post of this 
thread
issue #138 was created in the GitHub tracker:
https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/issues/138

Commit develop-git-067d7f3
https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/commit/067d7f3fd078a06923a26526a07988d1458a63bc

fixed the extraction of the playlist URL
from the page URL, then commits
develop-git-229b60f
https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/commit/229b60fb96224b664b2d7cbb926a90c93398404e
and develop-git-9f5ff59
https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/commit/9f5ff598714f704c9fe2030dc579e3d281504dc3

reinstated ms4/API and automatically use it for "archive" pages.

I verified that

perl 
get_iplayer-develop-2.92-g9f5ff59.pl --url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/great_egg_race/10801.shtml" 
 --modes=best --swfurl="http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf?revision=18269_21576" 
 --raw --force

succeeds when issued from a UK IP.
Link to the latest version of the script from the "develop" branch:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/9f5ff598714f704c9fe2030dc579e3d281504dc3/get_iplayer

Users of OS X Yosemite could advise the OP on how to use that to rectify his 
issue...
