: MIDDLESEX v. NOTTINGHAM
A Running Commentary on the County Championship Match, relayed from Lord's CricketGround
Commentator : Mr. P. F. WARNER
DURING the intervals in the commentary. music will be broadcast from the Studio by THE WIRELESS MILITARY BAND, conducted by Lieut. B. WALTON O'DONNELL, and VIOLET OPENSHAW (Contralto) and WATCYN WATCYNS (Baritone).
THIS is the first day of a match in which North
-L meets South, a match that often has an important bearing on the County Championship. It is a meeting of the giants, where Test Match players whose names will live in cricket history face each other. Moreover, this is the first occasion of a broadcast from Lord's, the headquarters of the game, the most famous cricket-ground in the world.
The descriptive account will follow the same lines as the first of its kind-the Rev. F. H. Gillingham 's story of the match between Essex and New Zealand at Leyton last month. After a resume of the morning's play, the B.B.C.'s narrator will give a further description at hourly intervals, unless any especially exciting event occurs, in which case the microphone at Lord's will be put through to Savoy Hill, and the message will be inserted into the afternoon programme from the Studio.
The narrator on this occasion is Mr. P. F.
Warner, the former captain of Middlesex and England, whose brilliant playing career is still fresh in the memories of cricket-lovers. He is now one of the leading experts and writers on the game.
The score will be given at 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6 o'clock.

Mr. L. DU GARDE PEACH' On Running Commentaries '
THE running commentary on sporting events has become a regular and recognized feature of the broadcast programmes, and thus it is fair game for a burlesque. Tonight Mr. L. du Garde Peach-well known to listeners as the author of Heterodyned History and to readers of Punch as L. du G.-will give an impression of the running commentary as it might easily be.
About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
