Songs at the piano: THE WESTMINSTER PLAYERS
A lunch-time discussion betweenAlan Frank , Herbert Murrill , and William Alwyn resulted in the formation of the Westminster
Players two years ago. It was argued that much attractive music could be found amongst the works of notable contemporary composers that would appeal both to the general public and to the serious musician. The experiment was tried and found successful, and the combination, consisting of flute, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano, has been broadcasting regularly since. Several pieces by well-known composers have been specially written for the Westminster Players, and first performances of works by Murrill, Demuth, Phyllis Tate , Reizenstein, and others have been given.
Programmes have also included music by such distinguished musicians as Florent Schmitt , J. B. McEwen , Lennox Berkeley , Vaughan Williams , Bliss, Benjamin, and Poulenc.

: THE WEEK'S GOOD CAUSE
An appeal on behalf of THE CHURCH PENITENTIARYASSOCIATION by Mrs. LUKE PAGET
The Church Penitentiary Association, founded eighty-eight years ago, has done work of great value in rescuing and providing for the needs of women and girls who are in moral difficulty, and in helping them to return to a self-respecting and useful life.
A special feature of its work is its children's homes, where children who otherwise might never have known anything like the blessings of home life are cared for in every way. While the Church Penitentiary Association is a society wiihin the Church of England, it ministers to all without distinction of creed.
Mrs. Paget, wife of the late Bishop Luke Paget, who will speak on behalf of the Association, had great experience of the value of this work in the Diocese of Chester.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Mrs. Luke Paget, [address removed]

Conducted by Mark H. Lubbock
Here is a programme in narration and music, surveying the work of one of the most versatile jazz composers ever born. It is perhaps surprising to reflect that as long ago as 1905 Jerome Kern was writing song hits, and that he has kept up a steady output ever since. Who does not remember such numbers as 'She didn't say Yes', 'Who?' 'Silver Lining', 'Dancing Time', and, more recently 'Smoke gets in your eyes'? C.B. Cochran was responsible for putting on two shows that between them contained some of Kern's finest works, namely The Cut and the Fiddle and Music in the Air.

: Fred Hartley and his Sextet
with Brian Lawrance(All the above items arranged by Fred Hartley)
Pupil of Tobias Matthay, Harold Craxton, and Benjamin Dale, Fred Hartley was for some time accompanist at the Royal Academy of Music. Thereafter he was pianist at a big West-End club, musical director of a Stockholm theatre, and teacher of music at Dundee. From Dundee he gave his first broadcasts, though his radio fame dates from 1931, when he formed his Novelty Quintet.

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.
