When get_iplayer caches programme listings, all it knows is what channel 
the programme was on.  There is no indicator of whether the programme is 
video or audio  This programms is in the Radio 2 listings, so 
get_iplayer has to assume it's a radio programme. Only when you dig out 
all the metadata will you see otherwise.
