 Hello CJB
The programme referenced is a TV show,
yet your WPM is trying to locate it within
the extinct radio cache; make sure that under
"Programme type" only "BBC TV" is checked.
This way, GiP will try tvmodes instead of the
radiomodes; working for me:

But the downloading file has a "wrong" filename
(I didn't let it finish):
BBC_iPlayer_Feeds_-_-_b00787zm_default.partial.mp4.flv
so the end file would've been
BBC_iPlayer_Feeds_-_-_b00787zm_default.mp4
(that needs a manual renaming...)
It appears this is another nasty result of
the removal of the TV feeds...
