"I'll tell you about Peddler. He joined the old New Maiden Express Sewage Co nearly 40 years ago, transferred to dust, and he has the distinction of being the only man to collect rubbish from three separate monarchs. Is it right to treat a man like this? To take his best years out of him, soak his life's blood out of him and then pitch him on the pile?"

Four famous libel cases which, in their different ways, made legal history and captured the imagination of the public.
Written and compiled by Christopher Graham
Narrated by Lolly Cockerell
In 1905 the editor of a liberal newspaper was charged with criminal libel by eight conservative magistrates. The trial took on a highly political significance, with the liberty of the press at stake.

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.
