Holy Trinity Church stands in the centre of Cambridge. Probably since the sixteenth century it has ministered both to the town and to members of the University. The most famous period in its history was the ministry of Charles Simeon which began in 1782 and continued for fifty-four years. He combined all that was best in the Evangelical Revival with loyal churchmanship, and his influence was felt far beyond the bounds of Cambridge itself. It is still felt in Holy Trinity, which seeks to interpret for our own day the tradition of the early Evangelicals. The founding of the Cambridge
Pastorate in 1897 has ensured that, alongside the normal life of the parish and congregation, the work among undergraduates shall continue.

'Les Amours de Ronsard,* which is dedicated to the memory of Debussy, comprises settings of four poems by the ' prince of poets ' (as Ronsard was called by his contemporaries in France), belonging to the years 1555-6. The first is in praise of the rose; the second takes the form of a dialogue between Ronsard and a dove who laments the loss of his mate; the third is a description of a hawthorn* tree; the last is in praise of the nightingale.
Both the Divertimenti in this evening's programme admirably suggest that their chief function is to divert or to entertain the listener. The one by Mozart belongs to the year 1772, when he was sixteen. Lennox Berkeley's, which was commissioned by the BBC, was written in 1942 and dedicated to Nadia Boulanger.

: JOHN KEMP'
A radio play in twelve parts by Peter Creswell founded on the novel ' Romance' by Joseph Conrad and F. M. Hueffer5 — ' In the Casa Riego ' with Ella Milne , Gladys Spencer
Victor Platt. Ronald Sidney , David Kossoff , Stanley Groome , and Hugh Manning
Produced by Frederick Bradnum
John Kemp , having with Seraphina's assistance escaped in a rowing boat from his captivity in the ship carrying O'Brien aqd the Riegos back to Cuba, manages to get aboard an English vessel the Breeze. Lying becalmed off the town of Rio Medio, she is suddenly attacked by the Lugarenos or pirates of the bay, led by Tomas Castro. Kemp is overpowered and carried off. From Castro he learns that the Riegos were put ashore at the Rio Medio but that O'Brien has gone on in the ship to Havana.
Kemp meets for the first time a strange and sinister character named Manuel-del-Popolo, a crazy singer and guitarist. Taken by Castro to the bedside of Don Carlos-who now lies dying in the Casa Riego-John learns at last the truth of what has been puzzling him for so long-that Carlos has used the pirates for the first and only time to prevent Kemp from going to Havana where O'Brien is awaiting his arrival.

: ALFRED AND THE CAKES
Talk by C. E. CarringtonMr. Carrington suggests that there are two kinds of history: the history that everyone forgets, and the history that everyone remembers. He has made a special study of the stories that do not get into history books-for instance, stories of Robin Hood and Drake's game of bowls-and believes they are usually founded on fact. For him, ' history begins with Alfred and the cakes.'

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.
