Can't download a programme

user-1773

Hi I've updated to the latest version of get_iplayer 3.00 installed via git on Ubuntu 16.04 and everything seems to be working great, except for one thing. I can't seem to download Episode 1 of the Series "Second Chance Summer":

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08...-episode-1

It is listed as being available for 6 more days on the iplayer website, but get_iplayer won't let me download it for some reason (later episodes download fine).

I get the following output then the program just quits:

get_iplayer Output:

INFO: Trying pid: b08lszp1 using type: tv

If add the verbose flag I get the additional info:

get_iplayer Output:

INFO: Programme not in history
INFO: Got 3872 file cache entries for tv
Cleaning pid Old: 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08lszp1/second-chance-summer-tuscany-series-1-episode-1',  New: 'b08lszp1'
INFO: Trying pid: b08lszp1 using type: tv
INFO: Ignoring Future Prog: '2854: Second Chance Summer: Tuscany: Series 1 - Episode 1 - 2017-05-05T02:25:00+01:00'

and again the programme just quits without downloading anything.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going wrong?
Many thanks!
