: ' IS THE CHURCH WORTHWHILE ?'
The Rev. R. A. EdwardsThis is the first of three talks in which the Rev. R. A. Edwards will explain the function and nature of organised religion-what the Church is and what it means.
Mr. Edwards, the recently appointed editor of the St. Martin's Review, is one of the least conventional of modern writers on religious subjects. Having learnt a great deal about human nature during the early part of his ministry, which was spent in Stepney, he is able to appeal through his books to a much wider public than the average writer on religious subjects.

The Grinke Trio:Frederick Grinke (violin)

Kendall Taylor (pianoforte) John Ireland's Piano Trio No. 3, in E, first performed on April 4 of this year, is essentially lyrical in character. The first movement is
'laid out on the usual sonata-form lines, deviating only in the recapitulation section where the principal theme instead of being restated is merely suggested. The scherzo is an animated movement with a rhythm of alternating bars of nine-eight and six-eight time. The andante is a fully developed slow movement: the first section is in triple time and the second in four-four, after which both principal themes return in combination. The finale is shorter than the first movement, certain subordinate features of which are used in its structure.

Iona Abbey stands on the site of an older building erected at the beginning of the thirteenth century. Even then lona had been the spiritual centre of the Christian faith in Scotland for more than six hundred years, for St. Columba had landed there and founded his small but famous community as early as 563.

: THE WEEK'S GOOD CAUSE
An appeal on behalf of THE SEAMEN'S CHRISTIAN FRIENDSOCIETY by Admiral Sir JAMES STARTIN ,
K.C.B.
This Society was founded in 1846, when its forerunner, the Port of London Society, founded in 1818, came to an end.
For ninety-two years a most useful work has been carried on round the British coast, and the various Seamen's Institutes are centres of activity, the missionaries working out from them to twenty-six ports. During the last few years the work has been extended to Cork and to Alexandria, and since 1922 the Society, through its Hospital Trust, has maintained the King George V Merchant Seamen's Memorial Hospital at Malta.
The Society is in urgent need of funds for its general work and its hospital.

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.
