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.
If there are transcripts that are licensable they would go well on WikiSource.
As you've seen elsewhere on this mailinglist I'm convening GLAM-WIKI in
London later this year. One of the attendees on a panel session will be from the BBC archives and the director of the archives wrote to us directly to suggest him. I've written back to thank him but also to point him to the issues raised in this thread and see if there was any possibility along these lines. We'll see :-)
