A programme for enthusiasts We Always Race 'em HungryTonight author and animal lover Phil Drabble goes to the Loweswater and Brackenthwaite Annual Show to see what explains the passionate interest of Lake District people in hound trailing.
A thousand enthusiasts stand in the rain of an autumn day to watch 20 hounds race each other over a mountain trail of aniseed for a top prize of £10. Is the strength of the sport the betting, a liking for dogs, or the urge to breed a winner whatever the cost?

In this series of highly personal films, Eric Newby, writer and traveller, says:I didn't know life would be like this!
Adventure, travel, the challenge of the unpredictable: these are the ingredients of ERIC NEWBY'S life. As a boy he sailed round the world, apprentice on the last of the four-masted sailing ships carrying grain from Australia. He has climbed mountains in Nuristan, canoed down uncharted rivers with Red Indians in Canada, and travelled to every part of the world.
In this film Eric Newby looks back not too seriously at some of the adventures in his extraordinary life. With the aid of many of his own photographs of his travels, he expresses his belief that to make the most of life one must grasp the opportunities it offers - not only in distant places but close to home and around us.

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.
