Just launched by the BBC Is Genome.

Every entry from the Radio Times between 1923 and 2009 is available to browse. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one to go straight to the day I was born to find out what programmes were broadcast.  Top of the Pops, All Gas & Gaiters and Z Cars were all part of the evening schedule. Not a bad line-up!

For the researcher, as well as the more casual browser, this looks like a fascinating resource.

It’s very much in Beta mode at the moment and there are numerous typos (due to the scanning software). But this is an open resource and people are encouraged to submit their corrections and amendments, so that over time the accuracy should improve.
