BBC is offering about 16000 of their sound files for download, under RemArc License.
https://github.com/bbcarchdev/Remarc/blob/master/doc/2016.09.27_RemArc_Content%20licence_Terms%20of%20Use_final.pdf

If you wish to use their files, please read their terms and conditions.

Now that is clear, I put together a powershell script to download the files. Have fun!
