: Woman's Hour
Introduced from Manchester by Helen Boaden'She was the most gentle person I have ever met. I was fascinated by her low voice and speedwell-blue eyes which, though they twinkled at you when she spoke, seemed to gaze into distances - as though she was looking out to sea.'
Writer and broadcaster Phoebe Hesketh remembers her extraordinary Aunt Edith, the leading Preston suffragette whose dedication to the movement turned her life and her marriage upside down. Also, a glimpse of what may possibly be England's last surviving mackintosh, the smells, the squeaks and the explosions that went with it. Producer JENNIFER HOLDEN BBC Manchester Serial:

About this project
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.
Your use of this version of Genome is covered by the BBC Acceptable Use of Information Systems Policy and these terms.
