: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Theatre
Narrator Denis QuilleyWriting in 1848 Charles Dickens declared his support for a National Theatre, but added, 'I wish I could cherish a stronger faith than I have in the probability of its establishment on a national footing within 50 years.'
He was being optimistic. More than 100 years later a National Theatre still did not exist. But, from next Monday, at long last, the ' National ' will be in business. This programme tells the story of the National Theatre idea and of the famous men and women who, since the time of David Garrick , have helped to make it a reality.
With TRADER FAULKNER, MADI HEDD, MARTIN JARVIS , DENIS MCCARTHY. ALLAN MCCLELLAND , DAVID MARCH, and PETER WILLIAMS , and the voices, from the BBC Sound Archives, of LAURENCE OLIVIER , BERNARD SHAW and SYBIL THORNDIKE
Written and produced by ALAN HAYDOCK
(Denis Quilley is a National Theatre player)

Great ExpectationsPresented by Ian Mclntyre
Nowhere are the arguments about devolution being debated more fiercely than in Scotland. Some fear the Government's proposals could lead eventually to the break-up of the United Kingdom. Others say they do not go far enough. What lies behind the desire of many Scottish people to have a bigger say in running their own affairs? What are the issues at stake? And how far can devolution meet the growing demands of nationalism in Scotland today?

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.
