: Man Alive: Sad Song of Yellow Skin
A weekly programme which focuses on people and the situations which shape their livesMan Alive tonight hands over to an unusual film made by the National Film Board of Canada: Sad Song of Yellow Skin. The title is from a Vietnamese folk song with a sad and catchy tune.
The film is about a group of young Americans who try to live both as and among the Vietnamese in an attempt to undo some of the harm done by prolonged civil war. They introduce us to South Vietnamese people who come to life as individuals in a way that you rarely see in straight war reporting.
Sad Song of Yellow Skin won the Robert Flaherty Award for the best full-length documentary, 1971.

: Yesterday's Witness: Yes, We Have No Bananas
Yes, We Have No Bananas ...or much of anything else for that matter.This was wartime London, a time when the scale of values was turned upside down and the ordinary things of life became suddenly precious. Rationing was the perfect system devised to ensure fair shares for all, but in its wisdom the government forgot to take the one measure necessary to make the whole thing work - to lock everyone up.
Charlie, a Cockney street-trader, and locals in an East End pub describe some of the fiddles that went on and the antics of that extinct, lovable rogue, The Spiv.
Written and narrated by Benny Green

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.
