A programme from Fraserburgh to celebrate the return of the Scottish Fishing Fleets from English WatersRelayed from the deck of the steam drifter Mary Herd and from the quayside
This programme is built on much the same lines as the popular Aberdeen programme entitled ' We've Winter the Nicht '. It begins with an eight-minute talk by Mr. John Stephen , whose father was a line fisherman at Stonehaven, and continues with an actual broadcast from the deck of the steam drifter Mary Herd: The last and longest part is a relay from a cafe on the quayside

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.
