Marsha - Nathelpsy Proto One by KATE RICEIt is 1991 and there has been a reaction against liberalism and excessive emotionalism. The times are austere, the mood disciplinarian. Twelve-year-old Christopher's upbringing has been appropriately severe, his parents having little time for warmth and affection. It is to Marsha that Christopher goes for these things. But
Marsha can be controlled ... she can be discontinued ...

: Saturday-Night Theatre: A Dramatic Revival (1956-71): A Taste of Honey
by Shelagh DelaneyA selection of plays from 15 years of British theatre
Joan Littlewood, the dynamic producer of Theatre Workshop, first directed A Taste of Honey at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East in 1958, where it was hailed as an escape from the middle-class vacuum of West End theatre. When the production moved into Wyndham's Theatre, there was an enthusiastic first night with eight curtain calls, and 19-year-old Shelagh Delaney became famous overnight.

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.
