: You're a Long Time Dead
A new thriller by Elaine Morgan.[Starring] Alfred Burke, Billie Whitelaw, Richard Pearson
For Harry and Stella Selbourne, ten years of married life have rubbed off the gloss and shine of happiness, and left a bickering, unsatisfactory relationship, from which both of them might at any time seek escape. With Stella's blustering, joke-cracking brother-in-law, George, always near at hand, and some convenient poisons available in the developing room of Harry's failing photographic business, the scene is set for at least one kind of remedy. But in this new TV thriller Elaine Morgan has added too many ingenious twists to the plot to allow it to become a straightforward 'triangle'.

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.
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.
