A well formulated question. :)
Think in these terms:
1. Using iplayer with flash involves downloading a file.
2. Wouldn't it be nice if the file could be downloaded, preferably using
a program which is in a package in the Debian archives?
3. Such a package has been mentioned in this thread. It is extensively
documented at the program's home page and in its manual.
4. The file being downloaded is a .flv. While it is being downloaded it
is being stored on disk so it can be accessed and viewed. vlc is one
player which can view .flv files.
