 Hi Don :-)
This is part of the celebrations for the 50-year anniversary of BBC Radio 1
(but I'm sure you already knew that!); more at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p059cwkn

 This is expected; only regular BBC Radio 1 schedule feed is
parsed by GiP:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/programmes/schedules

... Yes; you'd have to (temporarily) patch your local
copy of the GiP perl script so as to include the
"Radio 1 Vintage" schedule feed found at:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1vintage/programmes/schedules

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

On my script (heavily pathed v3.01 on Windows):

===================================

# channel ids be found on http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/stations
sub channels_schedule {
 return {
  'national' => {
   'radio1/programmes/schedules/england' => 'BBC Radio 1',
+  'radio1vintage/programmes/schedules' => 'Radio 1 Vintage',
   '1xtra/programmes/schedules'  => 'BBC Radio 1Xtra',

===================================

(unfortunately, my mailer may mangle the patch
formatting, still you get the drift...).

Save the patch and force a radio.cache refrech.
After that, on my system I get:

get_iplayer --type=radio "Radio 1 Vintage" =>

 As you can see, all shows have the same <name>

have to refine your search, e.g.

get_iplayer --type=radio --fields=episode "Jensen" =>
