Well, as I've seen, there is a subtle difference in the way you wrote
the command in gambas: there are missing quotes in the --type argument,
compared as you have wrote it in the console:

get_iplayer --force --type="TV"

so the gambas part should read:

EXEC ["get_iplayer", "--force", "--type=\"" & sType & "\""] TO sOutput

or the other way:

arg = Subst("--type=\"&1\"", sType)
EXEC ["get_iplayer", "--force", arg] TO sOutput

You might escape the quotes in gambas, in case your script is expecting
a quoted string.

Hope this helps, regards
