The discovery of gold in the small Western town of Calendar brings wealth, a gold rush and-inevitably - lawlessness. What the town needs is a fearless, dedicated, sharp-shooting lawman. What the town gets is Jason McCullough -just ' passing through ' on his way to Australia.

: Easter Songs of Praise
Introduced by Geoffrey Wheeler from Glastonbury, SomersetLong before the dawn of Christianity, Glastonbury had great spiritual significance. Pagan worshippers believed that the famous tor, which can be seen for miles around, was an entrance to a mysterious otherworld. News of Christianity came very early to Glastonbury - some say brought by Joseph of Arimathea - and it became the first British base of organised Christianity, centred on a simple wattle and clay church. Glastonbury continued to capture people's imagination, and by the sixth century it had a monastery with a perpetual choir - relays of choristers who filled it with song both day and night. Local people continue these long traditions today as they meet in St John's church to sing their
Easter Songs of Praise.
Jesus Christ is risen today (Easter Hymn); And did those feet (Jerusalem); In heavenly love abiding (Pen-Ian); Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; The strife is o'er (Victory); Jesus is Lord (Alleluia No 1); Jesus lives! (St Albinus); Thine be the glory (Maccabacus)

A special holiday showing of the most popular film ever made.
Salzburg, 1938. Maria, a young convent girl whose tomboyish behaviour makes the Mother Superior doubt her vocation as a nun, is sent to be temporary governess to seven motherless children. In spite of a daunting start, Maria soon wins the confidence of the children, her irrepressible sense of fun undermining their father's stern discipline-as well as his plans for a second marriage,

: A Coventry Kid Am I
An Everyman specialAfter the bombs had fallen Coventry was rebuilt as a model city community based on civic wealth and personal reconciliation. People from all over the world came to claim a share of the city's industrial riches - and now a Coventry kid is as likely to be a Moslem or a Geordie.
The wealth is no longer there but the will to co-operate still lingers. This film is about Coventrians, their city and their beliefs, and at the time of the most fundamental Christian festival they look forward to their children's spring awakening in Coventry.

: Inside Japan
A series of 15 films14: Echoes of the Wind
The Japanese try to achieve beauty in simplicity. The art of landscape gardening is to create a natural harmony. Space is a vital element in painting, and silence in music. The Kabuki Theatre is a highly-stylised display of controlled emotion. All contain Ma, the pause that gives you time to imagine.

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.
