The producer of Melvyn Bragg's In Our Time are wondering if there'd be any value in adding episodes from the In Our Time archive, which is now complete, to relevant Wikipedia entries?
This is fab! I am a great fan of In Our Time and as someone else said, the programmes would certainly be suitable additions to some of our articles.
I agree with others that a first step should be to see if they will license the programmes in accordance with Wikipedia's content, ie for upload to Commons. If not, I can't really see how we could use the content more directly than merely to provide an external link.
If they were on Commons people would be able, I assume, to use clips of the shows in articles for which the whole programme isn't relevant, which would be marvellous.
