: Paradise in a Dream

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan....
A stately pleasure-dome decree. Coleridge's 56-line poem Kubla Khan is one of the enigmas of English literature. Dissected by scholars, intoned by sixth-formers, borrowed by Orson Welles (for Citizen Kane), the poem holds the key to the author's life and preoccupations at the time he wrote it - 1798.
P. J. Kavanagh , a 20th-century poet and novelist, retraces Coleridge's footsteps in a curious journey throughout south-west England to arrive at a personal interpretation of this exotic fantasy. With John Moulder-Brown and the voice of Jack Shepherd
Music specially composed by Neil Ardley.

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.
