Radio: I have an episode list of the BBC Radio comedy series The Men from the Ministry.

An excellent resource for old UK radio program lists is Radio Listings (use index letters at bottom of page) or slightly less complete, Otterplus Radio db- enter a series or episode name or part name in the search box. For listings of US old time radio shows, OTRSite.com cannot be bettered.

A superb radio comedy web site is an unofficial Just a Minute homage, with episode guide and transcripts. As it is a bandwidth throttled gnocity site, try also an older version on the web archive

A lot of classic British radio comedy is streamed on the internet by BBC Radio 7, who also produce an informative weekly newsletter.
