Monica RedlichRecently Monica Redlich married a Dane, and went to Copenhagen to her new home. As well as the fun of seeing strange customs and sights, she says that she had the additional gratification of finding that the Danes had so much in common with the English. She has recently written a book on her experiences in Denmark.

Recorded impressions and interviews at Crieff Highland GamesAmong the thousands of visitors to the famous Highland Games at Crieff today will be a BBC mobile recording unit and W. L. Hunter of Scotland's Outside Broadcasts staff.
The sports attract all kinds of competitors of varying brawn to put the weight, throw the hammer, run, and so on, but a feature of the meeting that would be peculiar anywhere south of the Tweed is the dancing and the pipes.
There will be another broadcast at 4.15 in the Scottish programme.

The International Grand Prix atDonington
A commentary on the open event, by Tommy Spann and Henry Laird at the Grand Stand and F. J. Findon at the Hairpin Bend, from
Donington Park
The Grand Prix at Donington is the last big motor-cycle event of the season. There are four events, of which the 62 1/2-mile circuit for 500 c.c. machines is the most important.
Crack riders are entered by most of the leading manufacturers, and there is a strong chance that new records will be established.

By Roussel:
Invocation
Coeur en peril (A Heart in Danger) Amoureux separes (Parted Lovers) Jazz dans la nuit (Jazz at Night)
By Ravel:
La Flute enchantee (The Magic
Flute)
L'indifferent
Three Greek Folk Songs
1 Le reveil de la mariee (The Awakening of the Bride). 2 La-bas vers l'eglise (Down by the Church). 3 Tout gai!
The Child's Song (From L'enfant et les sortileges) (The Enchanted Nursery)
Two of the greatest composers of modern French song are Ravel and Roussel. Ravel, who was a pupil of Faure, showed rare sensitivity in setting the exquisite poems of the great French poets. All his songs are notable for their beautiful sense of line and colour, and perfectly turned craftsmanship.
Albert Roussel , who was a pupil of Vincent d'lndy, was equally fastidious in his taste, and in his songs shows an exquisitely evocative lyricism.
This evening's programme includes some of the most characteristic examples of the art of these two masters.

on gramophone recordsAbout 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.
