: LISTEN WITH MOTHER
A programme for children under fiveNursery rhymes, stories, and muslic
As our repertoire of stories grows, so does the number of favourites which our under-fives want to hear again, and the task of fitting these requests into our programmes becomes increasingly difficult. There are always some eager listeners who have to be disappointed. However, an occasional complete week of repeating stories helps to solve our problem, and that is our plan for this week. Today brings ' The Cookie Bun ' by Jane Shaw and, tomorrow, Margaret Gore 's story of the Teddy Bear and the treacle tarts. After Wednesday's story, ' The Little Nurse ' by E. MaHett , a certain little girl will probably get busy again taking temperatures with a pencil, which instrument she calls a 'vomiter.'
On Thursday comes the story of Tim and his horte White Star, by Ruth Simonis , and on Friday the one by Ruth Ainsworth about the black doll called Dinah, which, while enjoyed by many children, brought special delight to one little girl. 'You see,' writes her mother, ' Father Christmas brought a black dolly named Dinah, the exact image of your heroine. It was the greatest thrill ever to witness the pleasure on jane's face as Dinah's descnption was unfolded. Her joy was absolutely complete.' Elizabeth A. Taylor

Mrs. Morgan walked into the hall while Mrs. Freeman was on the telephone to Sally and telling her how much they appreciated Mrs. Skeats. Mrs. Morgan was most upset David Owen came to supper and brought Gwen some flowers. He told the Dales he had got rooms quite near to Virginia Lodge. Mrs. Dale thought he seemed attracted to Gwen.

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
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
