On YouTube, I cannot download episode 3 of the BBC Television 6-part mini-series "Smiley's People." The other 5 episodes download with no difficulty. I believe the reason pertains to a brief explicit sexual scene in the episode at 40:51. I am able to watch the episode on YouTube. Here is the relevant console output. The console app is mate-terminal running under Linux Mint. I shortened the name of youtube-dl to y in this folder.
Is there any way to get past the block that You Tube has placed on this video? I tried the workaround --prefer-insecure but that had no effect. Maybe the --referer option would help, but I don't know what URL to use.
Thank you for your attention. I would be glad to try to provide any additional information you request.
