: Israel in East Africa
In 1903 the World Zionist Organisation received an offer from the British government of a homeland for the Jews in what is now Kenya. The Zionist leader Theodor Herzl took it seriously but was branded a traitor for considering anywhere other thanPalestine, while the prospect of a Jewish colony in their midst threw the British settlers in East Africa into an anti-Semitic frenzy. The rejection of the offer in 1905 led to a breakaway Jewish movement that believed Arab-occupied Palestine too fraught for colonisation and set about exploring possible sites in Libya, Angola and Australia.

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
