: The Philpott File: The Mighty Mississippi: 2: The Workhorse and the Queen
A series of three film reports by Trevor Philpott on The Mighty MississippiThe story of two boats which earn their keep on the brown waters of the Mississippi. One, the Delta Queen, is the last of the overnight steamboats, inheritor, of all the glamour and the legends, gelling a few days' adventure and romance to the lucky few who can afford to pay the price. The other is the America, biggest of all the towboats, with the power to push 40,000 tons of cargo against the current. It is manned by its own peculiar breed of men, tough and independent; men who are isolated for 30 days at a time on a moving island of steel.

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.
