: ROMAN LONDON
Programme written and produced by Leonard CottrellThe Temple of Mithras drew much public attention recently; but there are other relics of Roman London, equally important "though less well known, and valuable discoveries have been made since the war on bomb-cleared sites. Temporarily deserting Ancient Egypt, Leonard Cottrell has turned his attention to archaeology nearer home in a programme that endeavours to re-create the ancient city of Londinium from archaeological discoveries and the works of classical writers.

Produced by David Davis
'1066 and all that' has been taken for granted for so long that it has become a joke. Few of us realise now what a daring gamble the Norman Conquest was, and how nearly it did not come off. This play deals with the great adventurer who staked everything to win a crown.

Produced by Finlay J. Macdonald
When Nigel Olifaunt finally secured an order for repayment of his 40,000 merks from King James, his fortunes seemed to be on the turn. But he was warned by Margaret Ramsay that a new-found friend, Lord Dalgarno, was in reality one of Buckingham's lieutenants. In blind anger the young Scot challenged Dalgarno to a duel.
While Margaret Ramsay-by this time very much in love with Nigel-was trying desperately to trace him, he decided to risk all on a personal meeting with the King. One day he waylaid the monarch while the latter was hunting.

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.
