Feature request: prompt to yes/no for each item on a playlist

I would like a way to choose which videos on a playlist are downloaded, without using each one individually. An output such as rm -i would be ideal, however any other way to ask the user whether they wish to download each video on the list.

I came up with this when attempting to download a video from history.com (http://www.history.com/topics/roaring-twenties/videos/1920s-inventions) and it wanted to download all others on the page first.
