: I Knew a Man: Edward Thomas
Sir Ian MacAlisterWhen Edward Thomas was killed in France in 1917 English literature was the poorer by a writer who, in his blending of sensitiveness with a keen critical ability, occupied an almost unique place in his craft.
It was Edward Thomas's tragedy that his work was little known during his lifetime. His wife, Helen Thomas, has told this story in two books 'As It Was' and 'World Without End'.
Critic, nature writer, and biographer, Thomas only turned to poetry during the war. The first of his volumes of verse was published in 1917, and the second posthumously in 1918. Sir Ian MacAlister, who will give his reminiscences this evening, was a personal friend of Thomas's from Oxford days onwards.

Here is an outside broadcast on the grand scale, a broadcast in which, from microphones placed all over the town, listeners will be brought an impression of one London night at its gayest and brightest.
Guided by various commentators, listeners will be taken to a pantomime, to a fun fair, to ap East End boxing hall, and a West End theatre. They will find themselves picking a precarious way among the skaters at a big rink, dancing, if they feel inclined, to the music of a dance band at a big &Wfft End hotel, and finishing up among the motley crowd at the biggest fancy dress ball of the year.
Among the commentators contributing to the broadcast will be Stewart MacPhers ,oh at the skating rink, John 51) at the fun fair,
Dan TitchenefSf the East End boxing hall, and the one and only
Charlie Garner at the big fancy dress ball.

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.
