: Private Lives: The Private Life of the Cuckoo
Introduced by Jeffery BoswallThe bizarre life-style of the cuckoo is unique among European birds. This film tells the story of a pair of cuckoos that conduct their cuckolding in a colony of reed warblers. The hen lays 12 eggs, each in the nest of a foster-parent. The young squatter cuckoo on hatching, evicts the warbler eggs or chicks and takes for itself all the food the nanny warbler can collect. When the juvenile cuckoo is full grown it completely dwarfs the warblers but they continue to feed it until it flies off.
Many people regard cuckoos as clever or cruel, or both. By our standards they may be, but cuckoos are not humans, they are birds: birds with a simply amazing life-style as this extraordinary film shows.

Fyfe Robertson has seen the aeroplane progress from fun for a few to transport for many and, since jets especially, a magic carpet for holiday millions.'When I walk around in a wide-bodied jumbo jet, or watch Concorde nosing down from the sky, or enter a great airport, I never fail to marvel that these things have come well within a single life-span.'

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.
