Nursery rhymes, stories and music.It is astonishing at what an early age our children of this machine era are fascinated by mechanical things, and how soon even tiny children come to discriminate between the different kinds of vehicles they see going by them in the streets. How quickly, for instance, they distinguish a car from a van and a van from a lorry, and one kind of lorry from another. William, in the story by Diana Ross to be told today and tomorrow by Julia Lang, favours a sugar lorry - until one day he has an adventure that changes his allegiance.
'The Family Wanted a Holiday,' by Elizabeth Coleman, which Daphne Oxenford will relate on Wednesday and Thursday, weaves a fantasy of a different kind, for the family is a family of dolls; while to discover the secret of 'The Box Under the Table' by Ruth Ainsworth, our under fives must listen on Friday when the storyteller will be Dorothy Smith.

(sound only)About this project
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.
