  • BBC Genome Project: Radio Times 1923-2009

    In case you miss the posts about new content in the Reference Library in the Reference Library Comments board.

    I have just added a new link to the Theatre-and-Entertainment page that you may find fun to look at;

    Page renamed to Broadcasting, Theatre and Entertainment and new section added for Radio, TV and other broadcasting media.


    BBC Genome Project: Radio Times 1923-2009


    Not every page is digitalised yet but you can search by names - I had remembered that my grandfather, Frank/FJ Lewcock) had done some broadcasting for them in the 1920s and found his programmes listed - they don't sound very exciting!!

    And "Hopolong Cassidy Returns" was on BBC TV on the day I was born, as well as a Dick Barton episode.

    Oooh, thanks Caroline, just found my grandfather. We knew he had broadcast a few times and I do have details of one of his broadcasts, but there are several more I didn't know about.

      An interesting link, Caroline. One that you think "I'll take a quick look" and then realise an hour later that you really should be doing something else!

        Trouble with going through all those issues is that it makes me feel so old. I can remember watching or listening to so many of them.

          The BBC has launched their Genome Project. They've scanned the back catalogue of the Radio Times and particularly the listings information between 1923 and 2009. A good source of information if your ancestor or living relation was involved as an actor, presenter, etc. Or just go down memory lane: what was I watching in 1967?
