I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again A radio comedy sketch series, starring John Cleese, Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke Taylor, David Hatch, Jo Kendall and Bill Oddie. Rare complete recordings from the period 1967 to 1970. These recordings are complete in that they contain all of the surviving material, albeit that they may in some cases be 25 minute vinyl edits where only the vinyl disc survives, not the original transmission tape. Many episodes were sold on vinyl disc to commercial radio stations, and these discs were edited down to 25 minutes duration so that commercials could be aired without exceeding a standard 30 minute slot.

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
