This sanctuary of my soul,
Unwitting I keep white and whole,
Uniatch'd and lit, if thou should'st care
To enter or to tarry there
With parted lips and outstretched hands,
And list'ning ears thy servant stands Call thou early, call thou late To thy great service dedicate
My soul, keep white and whole

: What Every Woman Knows
by J.M. Barrie.[Starring] Barbara Mullen and Gordon Jackson
The action takes place in the Wylie homestead in Scotland; the election rooms in Glasgow; the Shand's London house: and a country house in Surrey.
Time, 1900-1908
See facing page
This is one of Sir James Barrie's canniest, cosiest pieces, first seen in 1908. The domestic drama starts in the parlour of the house in Scotland of the Wylie family, father Alick, brothers David and James, and their sister, Maggie. The family happiness is blighted only by Maggie's continuance in a spinster state; fatally, from the point of view of possible suitors, she lacks that charm which (in a celebrated phrase) she herself describes as "a sort of bloom on a woman". But events, and the male members of the Wylie clan, conspire to put the chance of a husband in Maggie's way, for when they find an unexpected and most unusual sort of burglar in the house one night, they propose to deal with him in a most unusual manner.

(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.
