Ubable to download from BBC site

[Alexx3142]

I have tried to download as in the command below from the BBC website, see line 9. The error seems consistent. Don't know what the problem is, not enough knowledge to diagnose properly. Downloading from youtube is working without any problem. See the end of the list for system information. Thanks for any help you can give.

You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl. Read our FAQ if you have troubles updating.

Hi, read your FAQ and using that have loaded the latest version, all
easy to understand. The latest Ubuntu one was well out of date.

However, though the symptoms are completely different now there
still seems to be a problem? I posted a new issue, #8275. Thanks for
any help.
