How to choose the video version when I use youtube-dl to grab from BBC?

~$ youtube-dl -F http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

the format codes from bbc are different from youtube format codes. I want to download the 720p version. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.


===================================

update: ok. after I checked the youtube-dl documentation, I have solved the problem by myself.
