Andy Garcia New York cop Nick Conklin lives dangerously, both physically and morally, but when he and partner Charlie Vincent are dispatched to Osaka, Japan, they find themselves operating in a culture they cannot comprehend.

Instinct, is joined by Andy Garcia , who starred in Internal Affairs and Godfather III, and Japanese actor Ken Takakura , whose previous American films were Too Late the Hero and The Yakusa. Japanese/

: Dr Terror's Vault of Horror
The evil doctor introduces another pair of malevolent movies in his series of horror double bills.Curse of Frankenstein
Starring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee
Baron Victor Frankenstein is in jail, awaiting execution for the murder of his wife. As his own death draws nearer,
Frankenstein tries in vain to convince his jailers that she was killed by the monster created in his laboratory. This version of the classic 1931 Frankenstein marked a change in direction for the previously all-purpose Hammer Studios, who became specialists in Gothic horror films after this first success, establishing the partnership of Lee and Cushing.
Director Terence Fisher (1957)

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

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.
