I haven't tried this, and I'm looking at 3.06 rather than 3.07, but if
you find these lines in your get_iplayer script,

    sub ttml_to_srt {
            my $ttml = shift;

and add after them

            $ttml =~ y/\0//d;

then that will delete any ASCII NUL bytes from the obtained URL before
attempting to parse it as XML.  Hopefully.

But really, report each occurrence to the BBC because they're shipping
invalid XML and they need to find out why they keep doing it and fix the
cause.

(When looking at this, I also noticed a --subsraw option that saves the
URL's content in .../foo.ttxt before attempting to XML-parse it.)
