1940s Radio Times
Dec 8^th, 2018, 12:50am

As part of the Genome Project, the BBC has made copies of the 1940s Radio Times available, on line, for the first time.

" The release, ....... covers World War Two, the immediate post-war years and key landmark events in British history such as the Royal Wedding in 1947 and the 1948 London Olympics. "

More information here, courtesy of The BBC Media Centre.

Access the 1940s editions of the Radio Times online index is here.

Presumably that would require removal of adverts/letters etc and take up far more data space.

BBC Victory Programmes.  Here is the front page of issue 1270, February 15th to 21st. 1948. On page 22 from the same issue, here, you can 'earn money from growing mushrooms", or buy a greenhouse.
