I had to go to the Mailing List User Archives to find the message to which you refer in order to recall just what you are 
talking about. I first looked in the May archives. Nope. Fifth of July.
https://lists.gambas-basic.org/pipermail/user/2020-July/069593.html Correct?

Try removing Wait from Public Sub getiplayerMessages_Read() (Line 43).
http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/lang/wait :
"If you call WAIT from an event handler, you may create infinite recursions, and then stack overflows."

And with Exec, each separate string of the command line should be a distinct array element as if it was Split on the space 
character:
Exec ["get-iplayer", ".", "--Type=TV"] Wait For Read As "getiplayerMessages"

With those two changes, I got exactly the same in the app as I did on the command line.
