: Across the Great Divide: Take a Pryde in the Arctic
"I don't think I could even begin to tell you why I like the Arctic, I just know I do - love it, it's more than a liking, it's almost a compulsion." (Duncan Pryde)Cliff Michelmore reports on Duncan Pryde, a 33-year-old Scot who's become a legend in the Canadian Arctic. Why he went there, why he stays. What it's like to live at 140 below zero, to be trapped in a blizzard thousands of miles from anyone, to live as an Eskimo sharing another man's wife.

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.
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.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
