Sorry, there was such a break between setting the test download going 
and my noticing that it had finished that I must have forgotten the 
times involved.  I should have checked against your OP before posting, 
but didn't, for which, apologies.

It does seem to be a problem at the source, doesn't it?  ISTR that there 
used to be some webpage where you can report specific iPlayer problems 
like this, but all I can find now are:

The usual iPlayer FAQs for the technologically challenged covering 
problems at the user end and don't seem to acknowledge the possibility 
of problems their end and provide an option for reporting them, though 
there is a "Live Chat" option on an overlay mid-right:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/help

On the web page that you linked for the programme itself, there are two 
possible links, of which the best is probably the "Contact us" link in 
the BBC Parliament logo bottom right, which leads here:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/hi/bbc_parliament/newsid_3005000/3005343.stm

There's another generic "Contact the BBC" in the footer, but I think I'd 
probably try the one above first, as from experience I know that this 
one leads into an endless maze of FAQs from which it is difficult to 
escape to anywhere that allows you to meaningfully contact a real human 
being.
