: The World About Us: Written in the Water
A 1,000-mile kayak voyage up the coast of Japan made by ten students: four British, six American. They experienced both the stifling calms of the Inland Sea and the storms of the Pacific, the frenzied excitement of the great Tinjin Festival, and the peace of tiny isolated islands whose inhabitants had never before seen a foreigner of any nationality.They visited the atomic dome at Hiroshima and watched the intense religious ritual of a modern Samurai swordsman. By the end they felt that, though their voyage had only been fleetingly written in the water, what they had learned would not be so soon forgotten.

: Times Remembered: May Hankey
Treasured memories of other times-firm views about present times. In the race for today, few of us spare enough time to listen - even to learn - from people who also know about yesterday, as they talk to the Man Alive reporters.Mrs May Hankey, the widow of a vicar, has been driving a car for 61 years. She spent her honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands taking three days to drive there in a 'Tin Lizzy' - the first of many cars mass-produced by Henry Ford. These were the days when the only roadside mechanics were blacksmiths, and if you had a bad puncture you would stuff the tyre full of straw until you came across somebody willing to help you change the wheel.

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.
