Albert loves the Princess; it is the dominating passion of his life. He is only an extra but he dotes on her from afar; his one brief moment on the stage he considers only important because it enables him to see her, to smile at her. Through a hoax he is enabled to meet her - but not as himself, for he is so poor that he has only his theatrical costumes to wear and they change as the plays he appears in change. Add to this diversity the caprices of the beautiful Princess and you have the ingredients for a fanciful, gay jeu d'esprit which 'could happen only in Paris.'

(sound only)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.
