That's a pity, as under the hood it just calls a Ruby script that's
pretty independent of CPU architecture :-(

Looked at it again and it says intel /reccomended/ so I've installed iplayer
desktop and it's now downloading Ian Hislop Goes off the Rails, trouble is it
appears to download in real time so I'll let you know if it works in an hour
or so :-(

OK 50 minutes later I've got an MP4 hidden deep in an iplayer folder
structure in Movies, now transferring to the iPad.

<whistles tunelessly while iPad syncs...>

Hmm, I've tried adding the Movie to iTunes Library but nothing seems to
happen.

Nope, no luck, ah well.

The download doesn't normally happen in real time, maybe something else
is wrong. I use iPlayer Grabber FWIW, and it has taken about 2 minutes
to download Sunday's Top Gear.

It works very well here - the following page explains how to save the
bookmark to your home screen to get rid of the menu bar:

There are several Top Gears available including the most recent.
