@Danny: you don't need to enter the programme id for radio-dl any more. Check out the search window under View>>Search. It's gone all point and click now.

There is a great tool for automatically downloading all the radio the BBC produces; sits in the background and does the job beautifully Radio Downloader

most of the time, I just use Replay Music to record the whole broadcast as I’m listening to it. by the time I’m done listening, I’ve got an audio file waiting for me

There’s Radio DL http://radio-dl.co.uk/ which, once downloaded and installed, gives you one-click download of iplayer audio. You just need to give it the programme id from the url and off it goes. Works a treat.

I’m sure there’s all sorts of copyright issues here but FWIW – I used the Flashget and convert to MP3 option for a while but am now using a great tool called IPDL (http://po-ru.com/projects/iplayer-downloader) Not only does this download a lot faster (6 mins instead of 30-40 mins for a 2 hour audio proigramme) you dont need to convert since you get an MP3.
Can also use it for video as well …
