Since the demise of #Radioarchive and the other #Cheops sites, is there anywhere to get some of that old #BBC #Radio4 stuff?

It's kind of ironic that the BBC calls out to people who have preserved their stuff in the past to fill in programme gaps for stuff that they then sell, and yet do their damndest to stop archivists preserving things that have now ended up lost again.

Ever since I lost my old iPod with the 48 hour version of "This Sceptred Isle" on it, I have been trying to find it again. There are plenty of torrents with 0 seeds and no "last seen" info, and I think even the abridged one is gone from Archive.org so unless someone has copies, it's just on its way to becoming yet another lost show, that I partly paid for.

Grrr.
