Comedy Connections 10.35pm BBC1
Week after week this splendid series delivers pointed cautionary tales about how the great sitcoms were born. Every episode I've seen has included a moment where the classic-to-be was almost pulled off the air, before being granted a reprieve by BBC bosses. And there's always a talking head on screen to point out that these days a new sitcom wouldn't get that second chance.
This week we're charting the rise of the "undisputed heavyweight champion of sitcom", Only Fools and Horses. And yes, it was nearly axed, until a technicians' strike meant it got repeated in a different time slot and finally found an audience in its third series. More astonishingly, David Jason only got the role of Del Boy because Jim Broadbent was unavailable, which conjures up an alternative universe, where Broadbent becomes a television National Treasure, while Jason goes into movies and wins an Oscar.
There are other revelations here: we see a tantalising glimpse of Nicholas Lyndhurst as a child actor trying a Canadian accent in a tea-time serial. (I'd never realised what a posh voice Lyndhurst has in real life.) There's a reminder, too, that part of what makes Jason's collapsing-through-the-bar-hatch moment so perfect is the sublime reaction from Roger Lloyd Pack as Trigger. One gripe: the programme's funky 3D graphics with cut-out pictures and coloured arrows are a neat trick, but they're overused. Show us more clips instead. (David Butcher)

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.
