Good evening all,
Having a bit of trouble setting up a pvr search where the term is numeric only.

I'm looking to download the BBC four programme '1864', but the best
search I can come up with is the following:

$ get_iplayer --fields title --channel 'BBC Four' --category Drama
get_iplayer v2.92, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis

Matches:
2: 1864 - Episode 1, BBC Four, Drama,Historical,War & Disaster, default
3: 1864 - Episode 2, BBC Four, Drama,Historical,War & Disaster, default

INFO: 2 Matching Programmes

As soon as I add in the search term '1864', gip thinks that I'm
wanting to use that as the programme index, and not the search term:

$ get_iplayer --fields title --channel 'BBC Four' --category Drama '1864'

WARNING: Unmatched programme index '1864' specified - ignoring

Any suggestions please?

Thanks
