The data sources are different, so things may be named slightly 
differently now.  And of course some things may simply no longer be 
available. But not in this case.  You need to learn how to use all the 
search capabilities in get_iplayer. Use --fields=name,episode or --long 
to look for things beyond just the programme name.  To wit:

get_iplayer --type tv --long "grand prix"

Not here.

get_iplayer --pvr-list

pvrsearch = sounds70
	search0 = sounds of the 70s
	type = tv


get_iplayer --pvr

Running PVR Searches:
sounds70

No radio results in sight.  Check your options file, presets, etc. 
--type=radio is creeping in somewhere
