I [ere is an old favourite back again-the series that took its name from a flying-boat which hopped from Piccadilly to Dixie to get good song3, found Adelaide Hall on the second trip. and brought her back. See the article about her on page 8. That supreme lord of idiocy, Oliver Wake field, who first made his radio name with Henry Hall , is back again on the Piccadixie, too.
Listeners should be glad that this famous flying-boat, which was lent to the Government, had to be returned because a flying-boat without an engine is rather useless. Jimmy Dyrenforth and his troupe are busy repairing it and re-fitting it.

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.
Welcome to BBC Genome
