There are a couple of things going on:

1. The default thumbnail URL generated by get_iplayer appears to no 
longer be valid for some programmes.  For now, always use an explicit 
--thumbsize=n, where n=1-6, or add it to your preferences.  If you 
forget and get a solid grey thumbnail, you can use --thumbsize with 
--thumbnail-only to re-download the thumbnail image.

2. The AtomicParsley error only occurs on Windows, and only with 
get_iplayer HEAD.  I'm not sure why it has only begun to show up now, 
but one of my earlier changes must have fallen foul of yet another 
Windows gotcha.  For the moment, stick with the release version on 
Windows until I can sort it out.
