Suddenly getting the below error message when running PVR

Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected end of string) in split at C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl line 1403, line 185.
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected end of string) in split at C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl line 1403, line 190.
Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal) at C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\get_iplayer.pl line 1393, line 192.

Literally started happening when I clicked Run PVR about 10 minutes after clicking Run PVR that succesfully ran with no errors (no downloads either as nothing new to download)

Any ideas ?

XP is not supported. If you can replicate the problem with Windows 7 or later, post a new thread. Thread closed - see forum rules. Perhaps try rebuilding your cache (--cache-rebuild) in case you corrupted it somehow.
