Just found this thread and the Dropbox source of the recordings.
Great to find this as a 'companion' to my treasured copy of "Plain Tales from the Raj".

Hello
Is it still possible to obtain recorded episodes from this life-changing series?
I am particularly keen to obtain the first episode.
Thanks

Did you get on any further with 'The British Seaman' Chris ?
An equally important and entertaining seriesd from the same stable, fior those who don't know it

Does anyone know if a complete version of the song "Paddy on the railway" in "The ringing grooves of change" (episode 18) exists? I much prefer the way it is sung in this episode to all the other versions of this song you can find on youtube etc.

Guest ^ "Paddy on the railway"

idk, it sounds like a 'final chord' after the second verse.
Have you heard the one on bandcamp?
Ewan MacColl, banjo, all the verses but solo rather than with the other singers,,,

(for comparison it's at ~4:55 in the Ringing Grooves programme(Jim's link above))

Got TLMOE from Dropbox (gratitude and thanks!) and have ordered the book from AbeBooks at a very reasonable price.

Jim Carroll mentioned another series, 'The British Seamen',and I came across references to 'Plain Tales from the Raj', both of which I'd love to find... he said, with ill-feigned greed.

Any clues greatly appreciated...
