The narration of Sir Thomas Malory spoken by Norman Shelley
Part 1
In the Winchester text the Arthurian cycle consi&ts of etglhi separate tales. The last, entitled The Mosle Pyleuous Tale of the Morte Arthure Saunz Gwerdon, tells how Sir Aggravayne and Sir Mordred disclosed to King Arthur the love between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guenevere; how this led to strife between Lancelot and Gawayne, and war between Arthur and Mordred; with the death of Arthur, followed by the deaths of Guenevere and Lancelot. It is the most moving, the most majestic of all Malory's tales. To quote Caxton's preface, ' herein may be seen noble chivalry, courtesy, humanity, friendliness, hardiness, love, friendship, cowardice, murder, hate, virtue, and sin. Do after the good and leave the evil, and it shall bring you to good fame and renown.' Douglas Cleverdon

Talk by David GreenAs a sequel to his three talks on the formal garden, David Green quotes Stephen Switzer as epitomising the transitional period from the geometrical parterre to what Switzer called ' this farm-like way of gardening,' a back-to-nature cuh which in turn was to lead to the painstakingly contrived 'natural' landscapes oi Capability Brown.

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.
