Sir J. ARTHUR THOMSON , LL.D. : 'William Harvey (1587-1657)-Tho Import of hia Discovory of the Circulation of the Blood'
SIR J. ARTHUR THOMSON sets out in this series to give simple biographies of six famous scientific investigators, with the aim of setting their achievements in proper perspective. William Harvey , his first subject, published his work on the circulation of the blood in 1628; his conceptions of the blood as a continuous stream returning to its source and of the heart as the motor power of the movement of the blood wore entirely original. Harvey made modern accurate anatomy possible, and his scientific comparative method of investigation was as important as his actual discoveries.

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.
