Interestingly the Genome service has an \Explorer option whereby it is supposed to allow you to search the Archives. However I've not yet got it to find anything.
When doing a search on Genome itself sometimes there are links to recordings on iPlayer. There are indeed quite a few OTR enthusiasts who have provided long forgotten recordings from off-air. One series recovered entirely from enthusiasts was "Parsely Sidings." There's a great guy one Keith Wickham who restores off-air recordings for R4X. He's on Facebook. On another group on FB a member reports: Re: I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again "Having a clearout before a house move and these tapes, 'obtained' when I worked in the Tape Library at Ken.House, will be donated to Kaleidoscope for their safe keeping. They are the un-cut studio tapes for the complete 1973 series of 'I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'. The BBC actually has digital copies of all of these (plus some more) which I gave them, via Keith W.... a few years ago. Oh, did I get even a 'thank you'? Nope. So, the tapes will go to Chris Perry's Kaleidoscope team as they'll probably keep them better than the Beeb will! Just noticed that there is a reel missing from the 11.11.73 recording, it's here somewhere! I still have to locate the some other stuff too, the loft beckons! Oh, in case you're wondering, I 'obtained' them when I was told to wipe them and re-use the tapes. I took them home instead." That gives us some hope ...
