Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her familyScript by Jonquil Antony
(BBC recordiing)
Everyone was pleased with the design for 'Sarah's' Christmas card. Doctor and Mrs. Dale arranged to take their 'Constable' picture to the National Gallery in the car to discover if it was authentic. Sally went to Scotland to see Grandfather Dale and bring back woollies for ohe shop. Billy was taken seriously ill the day before his birthday and Dr. Gardiner told Gwen the nature of the suspected disease and arranged for Billy to be taken to hospital. David was annoyed with Gardiner for telling Gwen before the hospital confirmed the diagnosis. Billy's temperature dropped and he showed signs of improvement.

A tale of the futureMusic composed and conducted by Van Phillips
Written and produced by Charles Chiliton
After being stranded on the Moon for thirteen days, Jet Morgan and his crew were about to take off for earth when they saw the image of what looked like another space ship in the televiewer screen. Jet and Mitch went outside to investigate the strange object, and Mitch even entered it. But no signs of any occupants were to be seen.
The earthbound ship then took off, first circling the Moon so that photographs could be taken of the other side.

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.
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.
