THE migrations of birds ' are not quite so much of a mystery as they used to be, but the more that is known of them, the more wonderful they seem. The bird-routes for the different seasons cross all Europe, Africa and Asia, North and South and East and West. In this talk Sir William Beach Thomas will describe these vast journeys, by which, for instance, a pair of swallows that nest in the eaves of a house in England may winter in mid-Africa.
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.
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.
