: Wildlife Safari to Ethiopia
Introduced by Jeffery Boswall 6: The High SimienThe expedition sets out for its final objective: Ras Degen , 15,158 feet above the sea. The peaks of the High Simien are one of the world's great natural wonders.
The endangered Walia Ibex, filmed for the first time, is found here and nowhere else in the world. The Simien Fox and Gelada Baboon are other unique Ethiopian highland mammals. Within a few years, however, Simien will be ruined unless urgent action is taken.

: Play of the Month: A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William ShakespeareCompared to Peter Brook's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream for the Royal Shakespeare Company, currently showing in London's West End, tonight's television treatment of Shakespeare's classic comedy of errors - the first production in a new series of Play of the Month - is extremely traditional. Performed in Edwardian costume, the play is set in 1865 and was filmed entirely on location in and around Scotney Castle, a folly set in the Kent countryside outside Tunbridge Wells.

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.
