Usage

edit

This template can be used to link to pages on Radio Times.

These days, very old programmes are found within BBC/genome – even though 'Radio Times' and 'genome' are held with BBC, they're not mutually compatible.

* {{Radio Times|id=|title=}}

This is a subset of {{citation}}. Only the numbered parameters are used in www.radiotimes.com
