Lee Ephraim was known at one time as the ' Mystery Man of the Theatre.' It was a title that he deserved. He was a retiring man who never thrust himself into the limelight and yet, though his name might not be known to the wide public, he had as many successes to his credit as many more flamboyant managements. The Desert Song was his greatest triumph but he was also responsible for Rose Marie , Gay Divorce, On Your Toes, all the Cicely Courtneidge and Jack Hulbert shows during the war, and also Carissima.

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.
