: MISSIONARY TALK
' In the Copper Belt'' United missionary effort in Central Africa'
The Rev. R. J. B. Moore
In the Copper Belt area of Northern Rhodesia thousands of Africans are being attracted from their villages over a vast area by the opportunity of work in the copper-mines. New and grave problems have arisen owmg to the separation of the native from his tribal life and the novel indutrial conditions in which he finds himself.
To meet the situation, the London
Missionary Society, the Church of Scotland, the Baptist Missionary Society, the Methodist Missionary Society, the United Society foe
Christian Literature (better known as the R.T.S.), and the Universities Missions to Central Africa, representing the Anglican Church, are now co-operating in Christian and social work among a population of nearly forty thousand native ' copper belt' workers.
The Rev. R. J. B. Moore , of the London Missionary Society, one of this joint team, will give first-hand information of this entirely novel piece of modern missionary endeavour.

: THE WEEK'S GOOD CAUSE
An appeal on behalf of LOWESTOFT AND NORTH SUFFOLK HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND, by CHRISTOPHER STONE , D.S.O., M.C.For over a century the town of Lowestoft has maintained a hospital for the benefit, in the main, of its seafaring population. The fishing industry is always a precarious occupation, but the fisher folk have seen to it that the needs of their hospital have been more or less supplied. Since the war it has been necessary to find £10,000 every year to run the hospital, and in spite of severe depression existing in the area of Lowestoft and North Suffolk, this comparatively large sum has been met annuallv.
But now the hospital is faced with a capital expenditure of at least £20,000 for urgent structural alterations and additions, including a nurses' home, now being built and very badly required.

: ' SAMUEL JOHNSON OF THE CITY OF LICHFIELD'
A short programme from the birthplace of Dr. Johnson in LichfieldPresented by Moray McLaren
(From Midland)
This programme, to be broadcast from the house in which Dr. Johnson was born, was arranged for September 12, a few days before the 128th anniversary of his birth (September 18, 1709), but it had to be postponed. Moray McLaren will be discovering for himself a famous literary shrine and giving his own picture of it. Sounds from the city of Lichfield will be introduced and some local people will speak. There has been only one broadcast from the Johnson house before.

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.
