A few redisovered dramas to be transmitted on Radio 3, Radio 4 and Radio 4 Extra

It's not clear whether the listing given on this page comprises the complete list of programmes to be transmitted, which, in perspective, is a drop in the ocean compared to what the BBC has stashed away in its archives, but I suppose we should be grateful for small mercies.

No, it's not clear. Is it the 'complete list of programmes' (7!) or the complete of those programmed to be broadcast soon?

[Russ]

I have enquired.

It's great that Auntie is digging into the Archives again.

Most have been heard since their last broadcast - a lot are in private radio drama collections.
The Radio Circle and VRPCC have been collecting and returning plays to the BBC & writers/actors/producers for ages.
