It's available on Listen Again for 7 days after transmission:

(Scroll down to 11pm)
No pressure 
(Might as well try and get the listening figures up so they commission another series!)

Some good ones in there Dan. But I want to hear you. I have a BSG loyalty card.(And Nectar)
Oh, it's all about *me* isn't it?
Me, me, me -- that's all I ever hear! It's getting a bit boring now...
Dan
Well as Dan said based on how it seems (about being broadcast the same order it was recorded) then episode 4 will be a BSG fest (well both of ours).
But that being said some of the laughter was ours as well
Well done guys, I will try and catch it, if I remember - perhaps you could remind us again nearer the time.
Every week! Like clockwork.
Yes I like clockwork.. thanks!
Looking forward to hearing it on listen again.. in due course!!
Was it a funny show, how did you rate the show (forget that BSG folk are in it for a mo.. if you can)
Good show?
I thought some of it was quite hit and miss. It's obvious that it's 'new' ideas when you listen which I didn't pick up on at the recording, and some of it is very clever (and some of it is trying to be way *too* clever).
The Time Nazi recurring sketches are very clever and funny and worth listening to (especially as the guy hams it up and was a brilliant comedy actor throughout the recording).
Worth a listen to admire the new concepts but IMO some of them didn't quite come off. Kudos for trying though, as even if they didn't the ideas were worth a go, I thought.
Dan
I caught this in the week, and I agree about the hit and miss thing but two or three of the sketches were really good. As a writer though, it frustrates me immensely when an opportunity to write for a show like this comes up (let's be honest - open door stuff doesn't happen often anymore) and then you don't take advantage of it.
I think a fair number of us did submit entries... I also understand that quite a large proportion of the successful scripts were actually written by the performers themselves, which I think for sketches is quite usual?
Sorry, that came across all wrong. I was trying to say that I didn't take advantage of opportunity and I hate that feeling that when you submit a sketch to an open door show, and you straight away feel you might have been better off sending a different sketch or changing the punchline, etc, but by then it's too late to do something about it.
I wasn't saying 'you' as in a teacher figure scalding the group with a wagging finger
Just imagine that I'm a Geordie in future...
Don't forget -- episode 2 is on tonight. Don't expect our sketches, but you never know!

is the forum allowing Geordies in now?
I sent a sketch and they didn't choose it and of course (as you say) I was wishing I had sent a different sketch.. but hey ho.. their loss!!! 
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Thats a high pitched squeal... because my sketch was on tonights show.
It closed the episode, and my name was on the credits.
That isn't even close to how big my grin is.
It was about Book Covers
Well done on that front, there is no better feeling on this earth (for a writer at least) than hearing your name in the credits at the end of a show, I'm sad enough to have recorded every single credit mention I've had, just to play back for occasional ego boosts.
I loved the returning 'Grimly' sketch as well.
