Nobody can help you in this case as even if someone goes to the British Library, those tapes are not allowed to be copied.

Harold,
Painful story of the audio material from the BNC is that it is gathering
dust in a set of boxes in the basement of the British Library. The labeling
of the tapes bears an extremely circuitous relation to any other
documentation of the BNC that you are likely to be able to find, so there is little point in requesting the tapes relating to, eg, BNC file KS3.
Confidentiality considerations make it unlikely that they will ever be made
usefully accessible. (I looked into it a few years ago.)

Adam rather overstates the case. Martin Wynne and I visited the BL
storage facility about 3 years ago, and can report that
(a) the tapes are not gathering dust. they are being properly looked
after in appropriate storage conditions
(b) the labelling of the tapes within the BL cataloguing system maps
directly to numbers used to identify recording elements in the header
of each text. To find the recordings for e.g. KS3, look in its header
for <recording> elements, and then request the tape indicated by its n
attribute (139401 in this case). This two step process is necessary
because several of the texts (not this one, as it happens) are derived
from multiple tapes.
I would also add that we found the BL staff very helpful and keen to
promote use of the material. They won't let you copy the data and
distribute it on your website, but that's not their fault!
