: THE LONG-TAILED DUCK
Ludwig Koch introduces recordings made in IcelandEarly this year Ludwig Koch introduced a group of recordings of the Great Northern Diver, made in Iceland in the summer of 1953. In this programme he presents another wild and romantic voice of the Arctic, which he recorded during the same expedition. The long-tailed duck is a winter visitor to Britain, particularly to the Orkneys and Shetlands, but it breeds only very exceptionally with us and has never before been recorded.

David and Jeremy have arrived at an inn at Merthyr to find Tyler Maddocks there. David, suspecting that Maddocks has murdered his father and swindled him out of his inheritance, loses his temper and says more than he should, thus putting Maddocks on his guard.

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.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
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.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
Your use of this version of Genome is covered by the BBC Acceptable Use of Information Systems Policy and these terms.
