: Mr. Desmond MacCarthy: Modern Men of Letters- V, Samuel Butler'
IT is difficult to believe that the author of ' Erewhon ' and that masterpiece among novels, ' The Way of All Flesh,' needs more than the slightest introduction to our readers. Mr. MacCarthy deals with his work and literary influence in the penultimate talk of his series on modern literary classics. Any listener who is persuaded by him to tackle Samuel Butler for the first time, will owe Mr. MacCarthy a debt difficult adequately to discharge.: LoUIs LEVY'S ORCHESTRA

: QUESTIONS FOR WOMEN VOTERS-V, Mrs. RACKHAM, J.P. : ' How Justice is Done '
A REASONABLE understanding and a proper appreciation of the actual methods by which justice is done are most necessary to every citizen. That justice should be done impartially throughout the country, and that people should not only bciieve, but know that it is done, through education in the various processes employed, are obvious essentials to a healthy national morale and attitude. Mrs. Rackham, who has been a Poor Law Guardian, a Home Office Factory Inspector and a member of the Standing Joint Committee of Women's Labour Organizations, as well as being a J.P.,. makes a striking contribution this evening towards this frequently neglected aspect of education in citizenship.: Professor E. N. DA C. ANDRADE: Science in the Modern World-111, Science and Food '
MOST listeners probably have a vague idea ' by now that food is part of the regular study of scientists. But they may not know that the very existence of much of the food to be seen daily on our tables is due to science, particularly to that which has given us all branches of artificial refrigeration. Science applied to food produces results more valuable than might be expected from the continual jokes about ' vitarnines ' and ' calories.': An Orchestral Concert

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.
