get_iplayer should fail hard if the XML parser it uses complains as
there's no good reason for it to expect poor XML and to recover from
errors.

If the BBC haven't already been informed that a particular URL serves
broken XML then that's the first thing to change, including pointing out
the NUL bytes that are causing the problem.  I'm sure they'd like to work
out what went wrong, and stop it happening again.  And it's better that
than all those that might attempt to use the XML to work around it.
