This is down to the tagging. get_iplayer takes info from iPlayer and
tags the file with it.

If you add --tag-fulltitle to your command line / options then this
should help you:

(from get_iplayer --longhelp)

Tagging Options:
 --tag-fulltitle                  Use complete title (including
series) instead of shorter episode title
 --tag-hdvideo                    AtomicParsley supports --hdvideo
argument for HD video flag
 --tag-longdesc                   AtomicParsley supports --longdesc
argument for long description text
 --tag-longdescription            AtomicParsley supports
--longDescription argument for long description text
 --tag-podcast                    Tag downloaded radio and tv
programmes as iTunes podcasts (requires MP3::Tag module for AAC/MP3
files)
 --tag-podcast-radio              Tag only downloaded radio programmes
as iTunes podcasts (requires MP3::Tag module for AAC/MP3 files)
 --tag-podcast-tv                 Tag only downloaded tv programmes as
iTunes podcasts
 --tag-utf8                       AtomicParsley expects UTF-8 input

unfortunately there is no way of doing this retrospectively to your
already downloaded files, short of re-downloading them if they are
still available.
