: Play School
A programme for children at home.This is a rather special week in Play School. In the visitor's chair is George Melly, who will talk about Jazz on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. First he explains what an ensemble is and talks about the instruments in it; then he tells how jazz began, and when he talks about jazz singing he illustrates what he says by singing himself. The flavour of the week will be mainly musical as Barry Wilsher has come back as one of the presenters, and he will play his flute. The other presenter is Julie Stevens, and she will read a famous story called Millions of Cats. There will also be lots about horses as this is the week of the International Horse Show.

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.
