: Sir Gerald Kelly Remembers: 1: Early Days
Six films in which Sir Gerald Kelly, K.C.V.O., past President of the Royal Academy, recalls some of his early experiences.Sir Gerald Kelly made his television debut in January 1953, when as President of the Royal Academy he led BBC Outside Broadcast cameras through the famous galleries at Burlington House during the Winter Exhibition of Dutch Art. His impact on viewers was immediate and considerable.
At 9.45 tonight he appears in the first of six films in which he talks of his early days as a painter in Paris, and about some of the notable people with whom he came into contact there. The stirring of his memory has resulted in a spate of reminiscences about people and circumstances - meetings with Cezanne, Rodin, Monet, and others - told with affection and without notes, freely and spontaneously.
The films were made in Sir Gerald's studio. Around him in his workshop are massed the paraphernalia of his craft, the air is fragrant with the perfume of linseed oil, and turpentine, and he sits, comfortable in his painting overall, unfinished portraits pushed aside, and just talks.

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.
