Only AD version available

This list post refers to the following support forum thread:

so it is mainly meant for @SquarePenguin, who wrote in #2:

The true reason OP wasn't able to fetch the non-AD version 
of  Eastenders, Ep of 27/03/17, has been analysed by my humble self 
in last month's post at:

The reason has only historical significance now, 
with the XML feeds being (ex)terminated...
Incidentally, employing the --ybbcy switch would have 
made the download possible for the OP (but sadly 
that episode has now expired...)

Other that the above, I totally agree with the rest 
of #2; the reason OP sometimes only finds the SL/AD 
versions of programmes is that he wasn't prompt 
enough to fetch the "original" versions before they expired; 
SL/AD versions, and this is my own observation, are broadcast 
slightly after the  "original" aired, hence they expire later; 
no need to accuse the Beeb and all those who depend on 
these "special" versions...
