: THE WEEK'S GOOD CAUSE
Appeal on behalf of The Hpstel of God, by Gilbert HardingContributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Hostel of God was founded in 1889, and is neither controlled nor supported by the state. There are fifty beds, and under construction is a new wing to take an additional twenty-five patients. The majority of patients, 92 per cent of them suffering from cancer, come from the larger hospitals, with whom the closest touch is maintained.
Income in 1951 was £ 12,000 and expenditure C17,000 whilst the new wing is costing £ 40,000 to build and equip.

: Isabel Dean and Flora Robson in 'NO NAME'
by Wilkie CollinsDramatised as a serial for radio in twelveparts by Howard Agg
9 — ' A Letter from Zurich '
Characters in order of speaking:
Produced by David H. Godfrey
Captain Wragge, his wife, and Magdalen Vanstone are now living under the assumed name of Bygrave in the East coast town of AJdborough. An illness is invented for Magdalen which keeps her indoors, thereby serving the double purpose of preventing Mrs. Lecount from establishing Magdalen's identity, and of fostering No;l Vanstone's growing affection for her. Just as it appears that all plans are proceeding satisfactorily, Mrs. Lecount receives a letter from Miss Garth, and again it seems that Captain Wragge and Magdalen are on the brink of dejection.

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.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
