get-iplayer itself is architecture independent, so installing it
is easy though some dependencies might cause problems.

Pick a link from 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/all/get-iplayer/download and:

$ wget <link>
$ sudo dpkg -i get-iplayer*_all.deb
$ sudo aptitude install

dpkg will whinge about missing dependencies, the aptitude call will 
walk you through installing them and finishing the configuration.

You might have to install an older version if dependencies cause 
problems.
