I think I can now shed some more light on this.  p0424zwc must have been the 
code I got from right clicking the BBC player for live coverage.  I assumed 
it was a pid.  Today it's p04259fy.  When I fed it in to get_iplayer I was 
told
WARNING:  PID p04259fy does not refer to an iPlayer programme episode.
That was why I had to use the url which today is
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/olympics/36664493

It seems that for live coverage only the url can be used.  For catch up the 
url or the pid can be used, but the pid will only exist once the episode has 
been fully processed.
