Hi,

I think it's a tidy up of "legacy" pages.
The missing page is R4 LW.
The R4 FM page is still maintained  (with PID p00fzl7j)

Same for BBC1...
GiP used the generic BBC1HD England page, but now the regions are available, there are individual pages, eg: p00fzl6p for London.
You can find them all from the main schedule index page
https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules
(BBC1HD England has now been removed, and R4 is just called FM - which may be an error)

I have updated my get_iplayer.pl with these PIDs and it appears to be working ok.
There is a block of definitions that contains all the PIDs for lookup.
(I'm not at my PC now so can't give the line numbers - but search for the old PIDs from the error message)
