Hi all,
Got the following when trying to download a BBC podcast :-

$ youtube-dl --verbose -F "http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0242m1y"

$ apt show youtube-dl | grep BBC

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface yet. Use with caution in scripts.

 AUEngine, bambuser, bambuser:channel, Bandcamp, Bandcamp:album, BBC iPlayer,

Looking forward to the fix.

This is expected behaviour of -F option, p0242m1y is audio and resolution is video-related. You should omit -F to start the actual download.
