SYMPATHETIC VISITOR: Poor dear Mr Smith , how he must suffer with all that sneezing and coughing!
MRS SMITH : He does. indeed: but you can't think how it amuses the baby:
In the second of two programmes Richard Stilgoe continues his sidelong glance at what made the Victorians laugh. The songs of the music-hall, the polished wit of sophisticated dons. the oaths and invective of the hackney-cab drivers, or the quips of society hostesses, were often cruel. for beneath the sentimentality of the age was a hard streak and the ' collapse of stout party ' gave endless amusement.

by the 17th-century biographer and antiquarian John Aubrey : the Radio Premiere to celebrate the 350th anniversary of his birth, starring
Roy Dotrice as John Aubrey Compiled by PATRICK GARLAND
John Aubrey , who was born in March 1626, is now acknowledged as one of the foremost memoirists of his day. Although little has been known of him outside specialist literary circles until comparatively recently, Roy Dotrice 's virtuoso performance of his work has established him as a fascinating, witty, bawdy commentator on the events and, more particularly, the leading personalities of his time.

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.
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.
