: THE CELTS
A series of eight broadcasts introduced by DR. ANNE Ross3: The Celtic World
The classical writers of Greece and Rome noted down the habits of their Celtic neighbours and observed the ways in which they diffei ed from themselves. From their writings, and from the evidence of archaeology and the Celtic literatures we gain a convincing picture of Celtic life around the beginning of the Christian era, while the persistence of the Celtic tradition is borne out by the comments of modern travellers in Celtic regions yiich as Dr. Johnson.
Produced by Adrian Johnson

The ideas of Archigram by THEO CROSBYThe pluy-in city, a term coined by a group of young architects who call themselves Archigram. has become a faintly familiar, if forbidding, concept in some people's minds, without it-or their thinking—being clearly understood. Theo Crosby. architect, was one of the first to become aware of the group, its technological enthuiasms, and its spirit of enterprise.

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.
