OK done that, now what? As I understand it that extracts the files 
inside the archive. However, when I try to do a "sudo apt-get install 
get_iplayer" it tells me there is no package! :-(

Thanks for that, it confirms there is no version installed on my system, 
however if I try a "sudo apt-get install get-iplayer" after reading the 
package list, it installs v2.83!  I've done a Google search on "package 
list" but can't find anything relevant. Am I right in saying it searches 
the PPA? Is that because v2.83 was previously downloaded? In which case 
how do I remove that link?

Sorry for being obtuse but I'm struggling with this one.

Thanks
