The BBC Shakespeare Archive recently relocated to the website of ERA – the Educational Recording Agency. Educational establishments can register to access more than 900 TV and radio clips and full programmes, from throughout the broadcasting company's history, relating to the plays and life of Shakespeare.
Most educational establishments in the UK are covered by the ERA licence, which allows you to make recordings or copies of programmes on the site for educational use. Once registered and logged in, you can visit the Shakespeare Archive and perform a search. I looked, for example, for the word ‘Lear’ and found 37 results ranging from TV and radio adaptations of the full play to an episode of BBC Radio 3's programme The Essay entitled ‘Freedom of Speech or Nothing: King Lear and Contemporary India’.
