Produced by Geoffrey Dearmer
Francis Xavier was a young nobleman of Navarre who lived in the sixteenth century. In the student quarter of Paris he met a man who changed his whole life. This man was Ignatius Loyola , founder of the famous Society of Jesus, whose members have carried the teaching of Christ into every part of the world, and Francis Xavier became the first of these adventurous Jesuits who risked their lives in carrying the Faith to savage and unknown peoples.
Xavier went first to India to teach and preach in the Portuguese colonies there, then to the far, mysterious land of Japan. He was actually waiting for a boat to take him to another unknown country, China, when he died.

Act 2, The Garden of the Cottage
Act 3, The Parlour again
(Western Programme)
Eden Phillpotts has shown in his more familiar plays-The Farmer's Wife, Yelloic Sands , and the rest-that he knows a good deal about human nature. It is not surprising, therefore, to find in Jane's Legacy a good deal of shrewd observation of rustic minds when the news of an unexpected legacy suddenly spreads through a village. Mr. Phillpotts has the rare quality of being able to look at human weakness with tolerant good humour and without cynicism, a quality which is probably the secret of his universal success.

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.
