Is that "--not-tag" in your sample command a typo, or are you actually using
the incorrect option name? 

You might find that get_iplayer is trying to do retagging because you've not
coded the "don't do it" option properly.

It's pointless telling people what happens with 2.83; you need to tell us
what happens with 2.90.

So post the relevant parts of its   --verbose   output instead.  Can you see
any difference between that for a working run and a subsequent non-working
one?

If you fetch the exact same programme both times, (you'll need to code
--force   on refetches) it'll be easier to compare.
