: THE RELEVANCE OF THEOLOGICAL LIBERALISM
by the Rev. B. M. G. ReardonDuring the past three or four decades the theology of Liberalism usually associated with a group of nineteenth-century German scholars has suffered an almost total eclipse. The speaker argues that the extreme objectivism of Barthian dogmatics needs urgent correction; and that the old liberals were seriously concerned, like the Christian existentialists today, with the problem of communicating the Gospel in a sceptical atmosphere.

: RECITAL OF PIBROCH MUSIC
by Pipe-Major Robert U. Brown' Mackintosh's Lament'
(sixteenth century) '
Pibroch is the classical music of the bagpipes. There is an old saying that it takes ' seven years of his own learning and seven generations before' to make a piper: it requires that time at least to make a good pibroch player. The ground of the piece and the movements that follow demand careful practice and preparation; and all pibrochs are performed from memory.

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.
