The latest version on the website is three days old. The version I
installed from backports on Jan 28 was 11 days old.

You have to understand that sites like youtube and the BBC can
obsolete youtube-dl and get_iplayer overnight, and they do.
Then some clever people come up with a fix and release a new
version, and I heave a big sigh of relief and thanks. (Most
BBC programmes expire after four weeks, and I'm usually two or
three weeks behind, so a quick fix is vital.)

Debian mainstream doesn't work to that timetable, so you should
check out the backports, where those sorts of package appear.
Fortunately, get_iplayer is a single Perl script so I just
download it from its site and put it in ~/bin, as you can see
from my examples.

Cheers,
David.
