Thaipusam - Festival of Ecstasy Narrated by ROBERT CUSHMANKURUP and his followers worship Siva the destroyer, most terrible of Hindu gods. For eight days they pray, fast and dance themselves into trance.
Kurup is a lorry-driver in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He is also a guru, the spiritual leader of a group preparing for the highlight of their year - Thaipusam.
In an ecstatic trance they offer their bodies for sacrifice. Claiming to feel no pain, they thrust snears through each other's tongues and cheeks. Men parade as 'peacocks' carrying a heavy frame of metal and feathers anchored in their flesh.

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.
