: The Sunday Film: The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes
starringRobert Stephens , Colin Blakely with Irene Handl , Christopher Lee Tamara Toumanova Genevieve Page
Billy Wilder 's version of the most famous sleuth in literature is more liberally endowed with a sense of humour than the original and his detective powers are distinctly fallible. A lovely lady arrives dripping from the Thames and the Great Detective is enmeshed in a mystery that involves midgets, canaries and the Loch Ness monster.

Everyman on the road with the travelling people.To some they are romantic Kings of the Road; to others they are parasites who litter the lay-bys.
To Father Daly they are his parish: 15,000 Irish gypsies whose Roman Catholic faith survives antagonism from local residents and indifference from local authorities. For 12 years FATHER DALY has chosen to work amongst them, responding to a call unwittingly begun by a fortune-teller.

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.
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.
