: Italy Welcomes the Princess
The highlight of the second week of the Prince and Princess of Wales's visit to Italy was an audience with His Holiness the Pope at the Vatican, a moment of solemnity away from the frenzied competition for pictures by the hundreds of photographers following the tour. Two days at sea also helped to give the royal couple respite as Britannia sailed up the Adriatic to deliver them to Venice, and a sparkling reception with all the tradition that famous city could muster.Reporter Kate Adie

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.
