Sir John BetjemanIn the week that a collection of Sir John Betjeman's letters is published, this documentary reflects on one of our most popular and engaging poets.
Betjeman's poetry was accessible: it told of suburban correctness and indiscretions, urban loneliness and sadness and he made many films for the BBC which he felt were poems in their way, too.
This portrait includes extracts from his much-loved Metro/and, comments from some of his admirers such as Professor Malcolm Bradbury and Barry Humphries , as well as a sprinkling of classic Betjeman quotes ("I've always admired people who were taller than myself. I like freckles, turned-up noses, wide-apart grey-blue eyes and locks thrown loosely back, and sulky lips and a hint of latent power.").
There are some rare insights, too, from Lady (Mary) Wilson and Betjeman's daughter, Candida Lycett-Green , who puts the record straight on some of the myths that have built up around him. This programme launches a brief Betjeman season, starting on Saturday afternoon with the seven-part series Time with Betjeman. Director Rick Stroud

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.
