Presumably the BBC wants viewing in iPlayer to justify the License Fee spending on that platform.  This isn't something Sky can have any control or influence over: it's literally not their content.

The BBC catch up section was changed this week and is now more of a gateway to iPlayer. However the programmes can still be downloaded to your box by using the Sky Go app on phone/tablet. Go into browse, catch-up, scroll down to BBC, then find programme you want and select Download to box.

Do you want to download because your connection is a bit too slow for live streaming?

My connection speed is not the issue.

@jennykins1963 then as its the BBC that is not allowing Sky to have the content available to download you need to make your complaint to the BBC

Many programs on the iPlayer are probably on there a lot longer than they would have been on the catch up service I know from experience some programmes have many series going back years and they are all still available today on the iplayer
