I've certainly heard items from series like the Chilton 'space' series. + Some MacColl. And I do think the BBC are gradually adding more archive material to an accessible 'archive'. The problem is that this is a slow process given the resources they have. Personally, I'd love to hear "The Northern Drift" again. But suspect most people now would be baffled by "Close the coalhouse door"! However, much material will have been lost... and sometimes then recovered from 'home recordings'. ;-> One of the curios here is the clash between trying to limit home recording and then using it to recover 'lost' material decades later. Various items have appeared again having been recovered from private recordings.
