: F.A. Continental Tour: France v. England
Commentary by Raymond Glendenning on the second half of the first match of the F.A. Continental Tour, with summaries by Charles Buchan, football correspondent of the News Chronicle.From Stades Colombes, Paris
The Football Association is making its usual Continental Tour at the end of the football season in this country, and will be playing matches against France, Spain, and Portugal. The second half of the match against Portugal next Sunday is also to be broadcast in the Light Programme, but unfortunately it is technically impossible to broadcast from Spain.
The last full International against France was played at Highbury in 1951, when the result was a draw, 2-2. England has played Spain three times and has lost twice - in Madrid as long ago as 1929, 4 goals to 3, and in the World Cup in Rio de Janeiro in 1950, 1-0. Our only victory was at Highbury in 1931 when the score was England 7, Spain 1. Three matches have also been played against Portugal, all of them since the war. Two took place in Lisbon and one at Goodison Park, Everton, and England won all three.

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
