: THE WEEK'S GOOD CAUSE
Appeal on behalf of the work of the British Council for Rehabilitation, by Peter UstinovContributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
It is not widely recognised that there are today tens of thousands of people in this country who, because of illness, injury, or congenital deformity, are condemned to a life of enforced inactivity and dependence on the charity of others, despite their capacity and willingness for work. The British Council for Rehabilitation is attempting by all possible means to reclaim these ' social derelicts,' and to point the way by which they can be restored to a life of independence, full employment, and self-respect. Through its Preparatory Training Bureau new hope is brought to long-term patients in hospitals, by equipping them through correspondence courses to undertake suitable careers on their discharge.

: Bernard Braden in ' SO LITTLE TIME'
A novel by John P. Marquand adapted as a serial in twelve parts by H. Oldfield Box 4 — ' New York has Everything'Produced by Wilfrid Grantham
Time, October, 1940. Place, New York. Jeffrey Wilson, of small town origin, is married to a woman of family and money; and on the surface, he has raised himself to her level. But he and his wife have really nothing in common. His life seems to him to be all in pieces.
The war in Europe is going badly for the British, and it cannot be long before America herself is involved. The uncertainties of the situation have brought to a head all Jeffrey's personal dissatisfactions and anxieties. His son Jim, who means more to him than anyone else in the world, is of military age.

: 'I LIVE AS I PLEASE'
The story of Bill HarneyIntroduced by Edward Ward
Produced by Marjorie Ward
Bill Harney is an Australian who has been in this country for six months on his first visit to Britain. A few years ago Bill said to himself: 'If you can live without working, what's the good of working? So I thought, the best thing to do is to find a place where I can sit down and take life easy.' He found his place on the vast beaches of the Northern Territorv of Australia, and there he lives in the sun, ' in the old beach hut with the enormous banvan tree shading it and the lagoons behind and the old geese talking in .he swamps and the sea rolling in.' He is one of the finest natural storytellers in the world, and in this programme he tells you of his roamings,' and how he ' lives as he pleases ' at Two Fella Creek, Australia.

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.
