Have you ever wanted to paint, but not known where to start? Should you begin with water colour or oil? Or whatabout tempera, acrylics, gouache - and what are they anyway? Would it cost a fortune? How much special
equipment would you need? Perhaps you paint already, and need advice on new techniques. John FitzMaurice Mills
is a painter and a teacher of painting. He is President of the Royal Drawing Society and a specialist in materials. You
can put your questions about techniques, materials, paint and painters to him. Sue MacGregor is in the Chair.

: In an Apothecary Garden
The Chelsea PhysicGarden was established by the Society of Apothecaries in 1673. The garden predates its most famous counterpart - Kew Gardens - by nearly 100 years, yet most people have never heard of it. Marjorie Lofthouse looks at the work and history of this
17th-century garden which appears, outwardly, to have changed little since its foundation.

Leonard Pcarcey presents a history of the male-voice close-harmony groups that have emerged from King's College,Cambridge. The King's Singers are undoubtedly the best-known of all the groups, and have done most to popularise this kindofmale-voicesound. But with the help of the early arrangers and the membersoithe
BACCIIOLIAN SINGERS, THE SCHOLARS, THE KING'S singers and the LIGHT blues the programme goes back to the roots of the movement and investigates how that sound was born, bred and brought from small amateur performances in Cambridge to a world-wide awareness. Producer JEREMY BIRCHALI.

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.
