: TO DEFINE TRUE KNOWLEDGE
by Renford BambroughFellow of St. John's College, Cambridge
In the Theaetetus, Plato tried and failed to give a definition of knowledge. Renford Bambrough suggests that the failure was inevitable, but that the attempt was a major philosophical achievement.

3: A Kit of PartsHENRY SWAIN , Deputy County Architect of Nottinghamshire, talks to GRAEME SHANKLAND, architect and planner
Prefabrication, once regarded as a mere expedient to overcome shortage of site labour, now appears as one important means of creating a higher over-all level of design. It was a prefabricated school that last year won for Britain the first prize for architecture at the Milan Triennale. Henry Swain talks about the special features that make the systems of construction now used by thirteen local authorities in Britain interesting to the outside world.

by ITALO SVEVO translated by G. H. McWilliam with Maxine Audley , Michael Gough Paul Daneman , Beatrix LehmannProduction by MARTIN ESSLIN
: second broadcast
Italo Svevo (1861-1928), the Triestine writer who was James Joyce 's friend, has long been acknowledged as one of the great novelists of our century. But until the publication of a volume of his plays two years ago it had not been realised that he was also passionately interested in the theatre. A Husband which Svevo wrote at the turn of the century is a dark comedy of marital love, jealousy, and fidelity.

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.
