"Period" films and series from the time of industrialization/"Industrial Revolution" with this theme?

Is there a place where you can listen to old BBC radio episodes?

Unfortunately, the shows on BBC Sounds are only available for a limited time, after which they're gone. Is there some kind of unofficial archive where I can listen to or download all the shows?
