Try the Internet Archive. I've just discovered it has all kinds of old Radio 4 programmes, including Gardener's Question Time, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and probably far more!

Haven't yet searched for, but also try 'I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue' and 'Just a Minute' if you a fancy a bunch of very smart people playing very silly panel games.

Or 'In Our Time' for a programme that covers a different topic each week from science/arts/history and assumes it has an intelligent audience interested in hearing an in depth discussion with experts on a subject they may know little about. It stretches you, and never talks down to the audience. It's been running a very long time now.
