: THE WEEK'S GOOD CAUSE
Appeal on behalf of the United Nations Association Refugee Fund, by John ArlottContributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
There are in Europe today about a quarter of a million refugees in need of international aid. Nearly seventy thousand still live in hutted camps and barracks. Some were victims of the concentration camps; 15,000 of them are children below the age of fourteen; another 15,000 are old or sick and require special care. Some still have hopes of emigration, but most need 'to find a future in the countries where they now live. For all this, money is needéd-to build homes, to provide institutional care for old and sick people, to provide vocational training for the youngsters, to provide loans to help the healthy toward independence. The need is urgent, for many of these courageous people have been refugees for ten years or more. The U.N.A. Refugee Fund is helping to finance these projects sponsored by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and carried out by the various voluntary organisations which are doing such good work for refugees.

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.
