: Children's Television presents: Look - The Fulmar
A series of wild-life programmes.Introduced this week by James Fisher.
The fulmar is a seabird with an unusual story. Two hundred years ago the Atlantic species bred only in the Arctic and on the remote Hebridean Island of St. Kilda. Now it is widespread round the British coastline. The life history of this bird and the story of the increase in its breeding range are shown in a film made by the BBC Natural History Unit. The film is narrated by James Fisher, who has made a long and detailed study of the fulmar.

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.
