: London Season Here I Come: Margaret Powell Looks at High Society
This summer Margaret Powell, once a kitchenmaid, 'did' the London Season-that period between May and the end of August when debs come out, champagne flows, sportsmen and society mingle at the big summer events and, hopefully, the sun shines. This year it did - and Margaret Powell was in the thick of everything.She visited events as different as a deb cocktail party and the Henley Royal Regatta, commenting, talking and, of course, laughing. She says she enjoyed every moment of her Season - but wishes she had 'come out' 50 years earlier.

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.
