What sort of a clock is a dandelion clock'? And how does it tell you the time?

: MRS. DALE'S DIARY
Script by Lesley WilsonTo be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.
Last Saturday Bob should have gone on holiday but on Friday evening Michael telephoned to say his senior partner had suddenly been taken ill and the trip to France would have to be cancelled. Bob was very disappointed and mooned around the house getting in everyone's way. Alec came . to lunch and suggested Bob should accompany him to Brighton for a couple of days. Alec paying all the expenses as it was a business trip. Alec had his business appointment in the evening but promised to be back by nine. At ten he still had not returned. The next morning at breakfast he was most crestfallen and admitted he had been playing poker the night before and lost every penny, with the result that Bob had to pay the hotel bill. Dr. Dale met an old friend who was looking for someone to manage the floral department in a big store in Oxford Street. Dr. and Mrs. Dale thought Sally should try for the position, so Sally rang Mr. Morris and arranged to lunch with him on Friday.

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.
