Ditto, duration 3:20:42, ends with pairs skating.

I haven't watched any all the way through, but skipping through allowing 
short sections to play, they all seem fine, though one passage on the 
last had some video corruption.

FWIW, I downloaded all the above using the following command ...

perl <path>\get_iplayer.pl --profile-dir=<profile path> --type tv 
--tvmode hlshd,dvfhd,hvfhd,dvfsd,hvfsd,dvfxsd,hvfxsd --pid <pid> 
--file-prefix "<as appropriate>" -g

... noting that at one time my mode list was giving warning messages, 
though still working, but that I think this is a corrected version that 
did not.
