The personal SOS messages the BBC used to send

The Eddie Mair documentary would be here, but as is usual the BBC never makes old archive programs available: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mdf9r

I'm like 99% sure I listened to it, but unfortunately I didn't make a copy probably because I listened to it on the broadcast radio rather than download.

What are you on about?

Two thousand episodes of Desert Island Discs https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qnmr/episodes/player

Nearly a thousand episodes of In Our Time https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl/episodes/guide

Two hundred episodes of the Moral Maze https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qk11/episodes/player

That's 3200 episodes, versus how many radio programmes has the BBC broadcast in all?

Click the "Clips" link on that page to hear the segment: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00y83k6

(NB: The BBC makes thousands of hours of radio archives available, including the entire In Our Time archive, for example, but the policy depends on genre and rights so it's not blanket coverage.)
