Having finally made it to the legendary city of Timbuktu in the penultimate episode of his desert odyssey, Palin heads east to join the Wodaabe herders at one of their famous male beauty pageants. But it is only when he travels with a Tuareg camel train across the ultra-remote Tenere desert that he finally gets to grips with the soul of the Sahara.

TRAVEL Sahara with Michael Palin 7.00pmBBC1
On the 52nd day of his journey, Michael Palin - along with a camel train carrying giant salt blocks - reaches the legendary desert city of Timbuktu. Palin is renowned for his easy-going manner and ability to chat to everyone and anyone, so it should come as no surprise when he appears to have a conversation with one of the camels. Doctor Dolittle, eat your heart out.
East of Timbuktu, the Sahara is virtually inaccessible to all but nomadic tribes such as the Wodaabe and the Tuareg. The Wodaabe took amazing - their hats are particularly wild - and once a year they have the most bizarre beauty contest. The young men paint their faces, decorate their hair with beads and feathers, roll their eyes and sing - for days - in the hope that one of the girls will find them irresistible and choose them as their partner. It's an extraordinary sight. What seems to interest Palin most, though, is the subject of polygamy and he keeps asking whether having more than one wife causes trouble. Is this something Mrs Palin should know about? (Jane Rackham)

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.
