: The Nation Celebrated
Written by BARRY TOOKNarrated by MICHAEL ASPEL
The Chelmsford Morris men in Pleshey - a sedan chair race round the village of Kingsclere - London's biggest street party in Hounslow - red, white and blue bunting, front doors, and chips - the Bond Street party held in Berkeley Square, complete with taped nightingale: all ways of celebrating the Queen's Silver Jubilee by her subjects.
To the Queen herself, the summer of 77 must have seemed one long round of handshakes, civic functions and cheering crowds; of innumerable bouquets and countless arrivals and departures.
This programme looks at the small moments and unrehearsed incidents of the royal tour, and looks, too, at what Her Majesty didn't see: at some of the parties, celebrations and happenings that people all over the British Isles devised as their way of celebrating the Silver Jubilee.

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.
