From KEITH WALTERS

One alternative would be a mains powered radio-casette unit, set to
record and powered through a quartz controlled appliance time.

At a pinch, a VCR can also serve as a Lo-Fi mono tape deck, by employing
its ‘line’ audio input and output sockets. (Most modern VCRs will record
audio without a video input). This allows up to four hours’ uninterrupted
recording, with timer facilities. The quality isn’t brilliant, but should
be adequate for non-musical programmes.
