A See-Saw programme: A Dream of Poppies
Narrated by Magnus MagnussonFor almost two decades, between 1932 and 1949, two British explorers were given free access to the mysterious and forbidden world of Tibet. Major George Sherriff and Frank Ludlow were plant collectors-the last of the great gentlemen amateurs. But they brought back more than plants - a unique film account in colour of a way of life that has now vanished forever.

: The Big Time
Trapeze GirlReporter Esther Rantzen
Another chance to see this programme from the award-winning series. A 17-year-old girl from a children's home, who is an amateur gymnast, trains for the high trapeze. It is the most dangerous act in the circus - many trapeze artists fall to their death. The programme follows her two months' training, meets the stars of the circus - and then waits to see if she succeeds.
Trapeze Girl put a lump in my throat at times, making me want to cheer.

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.
