Produced by Kathleen Garscadden
This is the last episode of the thrilling adventures of young Gavin Maitland, who, bravely aided by his younger sister Elspeth and his brother Neil, held his father's estate against the ravages of the English, and joined Robert Bruce and his handful of loyal triends.
Jane Oliver, the author of this historical novel, has said of it: 'I have added absolutely nothing to the breath-taking story of Scottish liberation.'

Part 2: THE CHRISTIAN HOPE AND PHYSICAL EVIL
A series of five talks for Advent 1:
The Bible Meaning of Hope'
by the Rev. T. W. Manson , D.D.,
D.Litt.
In this talk Professor Manson examines the concept of hope in Scripture, in both the Old and New Testaments, especially in its bearing on the problem of physical evil. In view of the present-day stress on Biblical theology, it is important to approach the meaning of the Christian hope first of all from the point of view of the Bible.

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.
