That method doesn't seem to work for me - for TV, anyway. For example,
BBC4 have a number of blues programs available in their archive (see
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/group/p01m79bn). If I try to use the
p01m79bn pid, I get the following:
>get_iplayer --pid=p01m79bn --pid-recursive --output

For those new to using the command line or terminal and wanting
to secure all programs from a series, there may be an alternative
to harvesting and entering multiple pids.
In some cases the program series may have a series web page. For
example, Germany: Memories of a Nation has this one:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04dwbwz/broadcasts/2014/11
The pid from that url is b04dwbwz but that will not --get you
anything apart from a list of pids for the individual programs. Add:
--pid-recursive
to your command and get_iplayer will try to get each individual
program. It will fail where the program is too old, not yet
broadcast, already in your download history or some other BBC
problem and as a consequence, you will get loads of error messages
but it will get what is available that you do not already have.
This is not a panacea but may help in some cases though do check
the downloads are what you expect as you may need to go hunt the
errant episode manually.
