Many viewers will remember Sergei Obraztsov, the Director of the principal puppet theatre in the Soviet Union, and a great puppeteer in his own right. Four years ago he delighted us with Baby Tyapa, his wonderful glove puppet, and his tragi-comic inebriate. Monsieur Obraztsov, although a talented linguist, relies mainly on music, the international language, in presenting his puppets.
Obraztsov is a tubby, energetic man, with humorous eyes-a man acknowledged by the world of puppetry as a maestro.
He returned to England in July, 1954, with his company, the Moscow State Puppet Theatre. They presented a children's pantomime, Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp and a variety show for adults, The Concert.
Obraztsov's film, Divine Creature, displays the classical musical talents of the famous puppets. It was made originally with Russian speech, but an English commentary has been added so that viewers may appreciate more easily the humour of the characters.
The story concerns the great tenor Obozhayev whom audiences flock to hear. Other artists are negligible by comparison. But Obozhayev has yet to learn that no one, not even a great tenor, is irreplaceable.

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.
