Not sure this is relevant in the case of my problem. As i say, i don't 
use an options file, but the above command produces the following, fwiw:

goose at t410:/tmp$ /home/goose/get_iplayer-2.96/get_iplayer 11611 
--show-options

Really? I must be mistaken as my reading of the help docs suggest that 
will fetch the prog with that id:

( "Record Programmes by Index:     get_iplayer <INDEX> --get")

So, removing the doubt of tv/radio i issue the following command with 
the following result:

goose at t410:/tmp$ /home/goose/get_iplayer-2.96/get_iplayer 11611 
--mode=flashaaclow1 --force --type=radio --get

I don't know what the "At least one input file must be specified" means, 
but this produces the last-named file, which has a size of zero
