I think I have posted about this before - the Ray Bradbury short story - There Will Come Soft Rains - and perhaps as to the poem by Sara Teasdale, where the last line is in my current signature. There was a radio broadcast in the UK as per the title, and searching for this I came up with two such recordings. One with the Bradbury title, made in 1962, and one as per the title, made in 1977. I think the later version fares better than the earlier one and why shouldn't it - even if the voices are in British English rather than American. 
See what you think - less than 30 minutes listening (each).
1962: There Will Come Soft Rains
1977: August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains
But one anomaly with these radio programmes, and presumably in the original story, was how come a reasonably advanced computer system operating and guarding the house didn't know that there were no live humans there (lack of such sensors?), and hence no need to do anything as to what it did actually do - as to meals and entertainment?
PS Not long to wait!
