Festival of Britain 1951Written and presented by Simon Jenkins
Twenty-five years ago, in an atmosphere of austerity and rationing, Britain went festive. On the South Bank in London, visitors were confronted by the science-fiction shapes of the Dome of Discovery and the Skylon. In Batter-sea Park, they crowded into the Pleasure Gardens, rode on the Emett railway, and took to the branches on the Tree-Walk. All over the country, towns and villages put on mini-festivals of their own. For five months, in the wet summer of 1951, people enjoyed themselves. But was the Festival of Britain more than just a summer holiday? Now, a generation later, SIMON JENKINS puts that question to some of the men who created it. with Sir Hugh Casson , PRA James Gardner Max Nicholson Rowland Emett and Professor Reyner Banham

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.
