1940's BBC radio
Apologies if this has been noted before. There is also a huge archive of US radio material, including Sherlock Holmes and Asimov's Foundation trilogy!

Re: 1940's BBC radio
It's a pretty vast labyrinthine collection of US material with occasionally some from the 20's (I found a set of commercials). There are some UK shows here and there in the main collection, eg, 'The Big Business Lark', Harold Wilson era. It's wonderful that this site exists.
Have a look at the Columbia Workshop - dramas from Hamlet to Alice in Wonderland! http://archive.org/search.php?query=...o%2Favg_rating Last edited by greenstar; 8th Jan 2014 at 9:41 am. Reason: added |

Re: 1940's BBC radio
I found that a couple of years ago and now have lots of episodes of Dragnet and 21st Precinct to listen to as well as the usual British favourites. Wonderful stuff.
