There are a lot of iPlayer episodes that aren't available for the iPhone, as Jan says.

If you don't have an iPhone or iPod Touch at hand, your best bet is to teach your laptop to "pretend" to be an iPhone by changing the UserAgent string it sends to websites. This can be easily done with the FireFox addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...don/59?src=api. The URLs you find with this should be usable with the iplayer-dl code we've been discussing.

Make sure that you turn it off after looking at the iPlayer site, or you'll find that web looks a little funny... :-)
