I used the command
youtube-dl --verbose http://www.metacafe.com/watch/5186653/bbc_internal_christmas_tape_79_uncensored_outtakes_etc/ 2>&1 | tee error.txt

and copied the contents of error.txt here. I hope I did this right.

I was trying to download an old BBC Video Technician 'Christmas tape', having lost my copy long ago. WARNING: explicit.
