Future programme isn't downloaded even though it is already on iPlayer site

I'm suspecting the issue has something to do with the ! in the episode name
Murder in Successville Series 3: 3 I Saw a Monster!
As below even trying to get info on the pid returns nothing
Code:
get_iplayer.cmd --pid=p050mqlk --info

Nothing to do with punctuation. The programme hasn't yet been broadcast, so you're not going to find it in a search unless you use --future (if you've added future listings to your cache) EDIT: or - ironically - if it is not in your cache at all. That is a weakness of get_iplayer. It is a bit of a problem with BBC Three programmes that are being broadcast on linear services.

Thanks, refreshing the cache fixed it.
