: The Whiteoak Chronicles: Whiteoaks
by Mazo de la Roche.Adapted as a television play by Philip Mackie.
[Starring] Jean Cadell
The year is 1926, and old Adeline Whiteoak has reached the age of a hundred and one. Though she spends most of her time in bed now, she is as ready as ever to lash out with her tongue or her stick. She has achieved her ambition of having great-grand-children - though not one-tenth as many as she would have wished. Still, Piers and Pheasant have a baby son, and Meg and Maurice Vaughan have a daughter. In the nature of things, the old lady can't be expected to last very much longer. The question that possesses her family is, whom will she leave her money to? The obvious choice is Renny, eldest grandson and master of the house; but Uncles Nicholas and Ernest feel that they have better claims - and indeed every one of the Whiteoaks nourishes a more-or-less secret - hope. Everyone, that is, except Finch. Finch is the misfit of the family: a shy, awkward eighteen-year-old, he is laughed at by the uncles, ordered about by Renny, bullied by Piers. But he is Adeline's grandson, and has inherited at least some of the old rebel's spirit. (Philip Mackie)

(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.
