: Ice Climb
Three men set out to tackle the north face of Britain's highest mountain - Ben Nevis. Its Orion Face is 1,000 feet of almost sheer rock, heavily covered with ice and freezing snow. Ahead of them is two days of exhausting climbing up a route christened 'astronomy' with Hamish Maclnnes filming as he climbs.For them, the night is going to be just as tiring as the day - and even more bitterly cold. The most they can hope for is a tiny ledge halfway up, where they can sit till morning, huddled in a bivouac sack tied to the rock, with their feet dangling in space. It's a daunting challenge even for men who've been everywhere from the Eiger to Everest.

by Dennis Potterwith Keith Barron as Christopher Hudson, Georgina Hale as Sandra George
"I keep thinking you are going to dictate something. I mean, that's what I'm here for isn't it?"
"With 'Only Make Believe' Potter gave a demonstration of a talent which seemed to be born to television; his instinct for the medium and his skill in exploiting it is superb." (SUNDAY TIMES)

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.
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.
