: Barbra Streisand: A Film is Born
Written and presented by Iain JohnstoneIn 1968 Barbra Streisand was sent a short story written by Nobel Prize -winner Isaac Bashevis Singer. In 1983 she finally completed the film of that story - Yentl. She starred in it, directed for the first time, produced and co-wrote it. It was the culmination of a 15-year fight to persuade people to invest in a project she 'passionately believed in' but which no-one else did.
In the summer of 1982 she began filming and allowed BBC cameras to observe her at work. In a candid interview with Iain Johnstone she revealed for the first time her doubts and insecurities about this mammoth undertaking. The programme includes extracts and musical numbers from the completed film.

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.
