UPDATE, 5 Apr 2013
At last - some information I'm allowed to share about the drama links on the WS archive....see the entry for 2 April on Twitter. All it says is this .......

"We've had to remove some audio due to rights considerations. Hope you still find something to enjoy."

I am leaving the drama listings below for reference purposes. Perhaps they will be reconnected at some time in the future.

UPDATE, 11 Feb 2013....
The World Service Drama Archive has gone into the next phase (open beta testing). - now anyone with an interest can register; just go to: http://worldservice.prototyping.bbc.co.uk/users/sign_up
; fill in the form and you're in.

One other notice: the 700 plays 1972-2006 are just a subset of the total number of plays taken from two programme brands. The BBC needs help finding and cataloguing them. If you can help, email worldservice-archive-prototype@bbc.co.uk .

POTW = Play Of The Week
TOTA = Theatre Of The Air.


The links did go straight to the online mp3 files but at the moment are disconnected. Visit the archive itself to check for announcements.
