I chickened out and did it on another SD card which never had 
Get_iplayer on it
simple
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install get-iplayer

It installed get-iplayer 2.82-2 and
rtmpdump 2.4+20111222.git4e06e21-1

Downloading culture show in HD
started 1653
ended 1702
~585 Megabytes

but then bombed out after downloading the thumbnail. Don't think I had 
FFMPEG on there. ;)
I checked the FLV file on my Windows machine though and it was perfect.

So the download worked just fine. 565 Megs in 9 minutes.

Up next, with FFMPEG now onboard
Spies of Warsaw in HD.
started 1708
finished s/l 1726
1391124 kb

FFMPEG finished 1731 failed to tag MP4 file
But it plays Ok on my Win7 machine

So it looks like RTMPDUMP and FFMPEG did their stuff but Atomic Parsley 
didn't

Not quite the conclusive result we thought we might get.
