: Lives of English Animals Otter
HENRY WILLIAMSONThis afternoon Henry Williamson is to repeat the talk he gave on Wednesday evening of last week. He tells the story of an otter cub which he rescued from a drain after its mother had been killed. A cat suckling it saved its life. It was saved in early spring, and by midsummer had grown bigger than its foster-mother. Listeners will hear how it remained tame until one day it was caught in a rabbit-gin from which Williamson rescued it. From that day it was never seen again. Or was it ? His search for it, his anxiety that when an otter was killed it shouldn't turn out to be his little friend with maimed claws gives suspense and charm to this talk.

ODA SLOBODSKAYA (soprano) Peter Cornelius, author, poet, and composer, and one .of the leaders of the self-styled 'New German ' school of music which gathered round Liszt at Weimar in the middle of last century, had been dead a good many years before his work began to receive anything like its fair share of success. The comic opera, The Barber of Baghdad, of which text and music are both his own, was performed only once in his lifetime, and was not revived until nearly thirty years later, at Munich. Weber's opera, Euryanthe, contains some of his finest music, but it is now rarely performed. It was killed, almost from the first, by the weakness of its libretto, which is one of the worst in operatic history. But the overture, one of Weber's best, has always been a favourite in the concert hall. It begins with an impetuous introduction ; the subject matter that follows is taken from songs in the opera, two of the chief being sung by the hero.

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.
