Short Story
A journey to the seaside, a cab, a train, a small hotel, a film crew on location and the search for someone once imagined ... This is a film about the celebrated short-story writer William Trevor, who has a new book published this week - and it's more like one of his own stories than a portrait of a writer. It tells of his thoughts and the events on his way to try to find "the general", a character he created now given life once more by an actor, Alastair Sim, in a forthcoming BBC television play - "The General's Day".
Seven Years to Learn to Paint an Egg
Believe it or not, that's how long it takes! Egg-painting is just one of the extraordinary crafts in this rare film of present-day Chinese at work in Peking, still making the intricate ivory and jade objects for which the Chinese are traditionally famous.

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.
