: Saturday Cinema It Started in Paradise
starring Jane HyltonIan Hunter , Terence Morgan Muriel Pavlow , Martita Hunt
Dress design and the world of high fashion have a glamour that rouses a primitive excitement in almost all women. For old Madame Alice in her nearly-deserted salon the great days had passed long before 1938 when this story begins. But for Martha Watkins the great days must be now, and she sees opportunity within her grasp ..
Among the supporting cast Kay Kendall etches a bitchy portrait of one of the salon's customers, and Bill Travers is glimpsed briefly as a photographer.

: Chronicle: The Wreck of an East Indiaman
On the evening of Sunday 26 January 1749 the people of Hastings rushed to the shore to see the Amsterdam, a fully laden merchant ship on its maiden trip to Java with 350 people on board, stranded on the beach after a period of terrible storms. Despite the ' help ' of a thousand plunderers, the ship sank from view in less than a week.Since that time, for a few brief hours each year the lowest tides reveal its outline. Eighteen months ago modern equipment brought the Amsterdam back to public attention.
Tonight for the first time Chronicle tells the full story of this historic treasure ship,- and the scientific excavation and research which is bringing her back to life.

Felicity Kendal readsThe Necklace by GUY DE MAUPASSANT
One small twist of fate can bring triumph or ruin. The price of one evening's happiness may be years of misery. If Mathilde had not been so vain; if there had been no party at the Ministry; if she had been content to wear flowers rather than jewels ... then chance could not have struck her such a cruel blow.

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.
