: CHILDREN'S HOUR
' The Boy and the Bishop'A play based on an incident in the life of St. John of Beverley by the Rev. R. T. Brooks
Produced by Herbert Smith
One day rather more than twelve hundred years ago a boy was playing in the woods which bordered the Tyne. Along a forest path came a group of monks and their Bishop, bound for a little . refuge in the forest where they were to spend Lent; and somewhere in the woods the boy and the Bishop met. This is the starting point of today's play, which tells how the meeting changed the boy's whole life.

Appeal on behalf of the National Old People's Welfare Council by Stuart Hibberd, M.B.E.Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The National Old People's Welfare Council, founded in 1940, brings together in one independent, non-political, undenominational body all voluntary and statutory organisations concerned with the problems of old people.
For the past sixteen years the Council has pioneered and promoted many services for the elderly, and to this end has directly and indirectly initiated Old People's Welfare Committees throughout the country. Funds are urgently needed to continue the Council's work.

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.
