: LORD DEVLIN
on The Examining JusticesIn the Magistrates' Courts of England and Wales, the examining justices' most publicised function is to establish whether an accused person should stand trial. Criticism of publicity at these preliminary hearings does not, in Lord Devlin's view, go far enough. There is a strong case for a reform of the system itself.

Part 2: ANTI-POETRY
Second of two programmes by J. M. CohenThe Pure Experience
Mr. Cohen examines the claim of the Chilean poet Nicanor Parra that every important poetic movement has been followed by an anti-poetic reaction. In disputing this claim he advances his own definition of anti-poetry and illustrates his arguments by poems chosen from a wide field. This programme considers the positive qualities he finds in anti-poetry.

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.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
