--force defeats the PID check against download history.  <lastbcast> 
changes when a repeat airs, so including it in fileprefix defeats the 
normal file overwrite check, thus you'll get another file for the 
repeat.  If you're saying that two different files (original and repeat, 
with same PID) download during the same invocation of get_iplayer, then 
you'll need to provide an example I can check.  If that's the case, the 
two files can't possibly have the same name, so where is the difference 
in the names - <title>, <pid> or <lastbcast>?
