Comedy: Have I Got News for You 9.30pm BBC1
As Friday nights seem suddenly to have become chock-full of undemanding light-entertainment programmes (and I'm not entirely sure why and how that's happened), here's a bit of brain food if you feel in need of intellectual exercise, and of course, a bit of a laugh. The ever-dependable Ian Hislop and Paul Merton return to captain the two teams, though as we went to press no guests had been confirmed. And as for the other question on the lips of every HIGNFY fan - who's the guest presenter? - we can't answer that either, as no one has yet been recruited. (AG)

CHAT
Friday Night with Jonathan Ross 10.35pm BBC1
Glacial superstar Nicole Kidman is tonight's big Wossy guest, and doubtless he's feeling very smug at securing such a huge Hollywood name. But this is bound to be interesting viewing. Kidman, over here to promote her new film The Interpreter, rarely gives much away in interviews. So will she be prepared to chat about her ex, Tom Cruise, or a certain Steve Bing? Does she have a sense of humour to the extent that she'll allow Ross a few gentle digs? The world awaits.
Also on tonight's show, and marking surely the very definition of an eclectic line-up, is David Schwimmer(geeky Ross from Friends) and cod parapsychologist, BBC3's "Shirley Ghostman". AG

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.
