The goal of Get iPlayer Automator is to allow iTunes and your Mac to become the hub for your British Television experience regardless of where in the world you are. Currently, Get iPlayer Automator allows you to download and watch BBC and ITV shows on your Mac. Series-Link/PVR functionality ensures you will never miss your favourite shows. Programmes are fully tagged and added to iTunes automatically upon completion. It is simple and easy to use, and runs on any machine running Mac OS X 10.7 or later. And since the shows are in iTunes, it is extremely easy to transfer them to your iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV allowing you to enjoy your shows on the go or on your television.

MP4-embedded subtitles, not just separate set file #213
Given that m4v/mp4 containers natively support soft subtitles as part of the standard, there is no reason not to have them embedded in the container. Otherwise, one has to use third party tools to stitch together every single file after download, making the "add to iTunes after download" option pretty useless (iTunes itself, of course, also can use the soft subs capability).
get_iplayer has already implemented this, so this frontend inheriting that switch/capability to download a single file with the subs inside would be a logical step. Please see: https://forums.squarepenguin.co.uk/thread-1606.html
