... they say, when somebody wants a bath?Ron McCrindell 's Toys
Toys don' survive well; tin boats leak and slowly sink in the middle of the pond and toy trains get tired and the wheels fall off. The dreadnoughts and steam trains that first appeared in Edwardian toy catalogues are now rare collectors' items worth a great deal more than the few shillings that bought them as presents 70 years ago.
Soho publican Ron McCrindell has been collecting old toys for over a quarter of a century. Unlike most collectors of rare objects who keep their prize possessions behind glass, Ron Mc Crindell enjoys seeing his toys in action. This evening we invite you to share his pleasure in playing with the steam and clockwork toys that have survived from another age.

: Them and Us
The second of a series about the Common Market countries. The NetherlandsThe past 20 years have transformed the Netherlands from a rural to a highly industrialised society, and yet many of the older attitudes remain. A few miles from cosmopolitan Amsterdam women still wear local costume - and not just for the tourists.
These contrasts are very much part of Dutch life today. Traditionally interested in painting and music, the Dutch now have a variety of cultural opportunity out of all proportion to the size of the population.
This programme looks at some new town planning, a hippie meditation centre, a Dutch cabaret, the film industry and Holland's most popular TV programme. It also features performances by the Dutch National Ballet, the Rotter-dam Philharmonic Orchestra, and an interview with the nephew of Vincent Van Gogh.

Weather: Midnight Movie: Studs Lonigan
starringChristopher Knight with Venetia Stevenson Dick Foran
Jay C. Flippen
Growing up in Chicago in the 1920s, Studs Lonigan drifts aimlessly through a world of pool halls and bar-rooms, carousing with his gang of teenage idlers, Kenny, Weary and Paulie, and unwilling to face up to the realities of life.
This film version of James . Farrell's famous trilogy, a rich saga of Irish-American life, vividly recreates Chicago's famous era of Prohibition and gangsters.
Written and produced by PHILIP YORDAN
Based on the novel by JAMES . FARRELL Director IRVING LERNER

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.
