They're in the 'tv.cache' file here, but you might not be aware that these
were first broadcast (excellent series!) in June 2014.

The programmes being broadcast now are 'signed' versions which fetch will
not locate unless you code "--versions signed" in the fetch command.  As
this says:

>WARNING: No programmes are available for this pid with version(s):
>default (available versions: signed,audiodescribed)

there's no 'default' programme fetchable even though (without specifying a
specific version) the search process has identified the available versions. 

I should add that I've never used the PVR; I just issue commands directly to
get_iplayer via the command line.  If specifying "-- versions signed" in the
PVR needs some kind of magic incantation, I'd know nothing about it.
