: Phyllis Scott (soprano) and John Rorke (baritone) in a recital of Mountain Ballads and Cowboy Songs
Phyllis Scott at the PianoIt was inevitable for these two popular singers to meet, for Phyllis Scott and her original partner were the first to broadcast this particular type of folk song. John Rorke has been singing old songs since the days when, as a young man, he was the first on the music-hall stage to sing them.
Years ago he used to go round to the publishers for old songs, and they inevitably said: "Can't you sing something new?" He always told them that one day they would be glad he was singing the old ones. With albums of old songs selling freely today, his words have come true; but then, he has largely contributed to their popularity by singing them for years at the microphone. He was actually doing so at Cardiff as long ago as 1924.

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.
