A workaround for this episode (and likely for others in the series) is to pick out a specific set of streams for the desired programme version (they are usually merged together). First, display the episode info with:

get_iplayer --pid=p09cvkf9 --no-merge-versions --info

and look for the line prefixed with "versions:"

versions:        audiodescribed,audiodescribed2,editorial2,editorial3,editorial4,editorial6,signed,signed2

Start with the highest-numbered non-audiodescribed, non-signed version ("editorial6" in this example):

get_iplayer --pid=p09cvkf9 --no-merge-versions --versions=editorial6

If that still doesn't download the desired version, work backwards through "editorial4", "editorial3", etc., until you find it.
