The John Player League featuringSurrey v Nottinghamshire
The great cricket venues of England are well known. The enormous crowds gather for the Tests at the famous grounds, but the grass-roots of cricket are in the small club grounds which rarely see the county sides.
Today, at the BAC Ground in Byfleet, we can enjoy the atmosphere of cricket played at county standard, in English country surroundings.
PETER WALKER introduces the programme which includes news of today's other matches. Glamorgan v Yorkshire Gloucestershire v Essex Kent v Sussex

An Island Called Danger Narrated by DUNCAN CARSEIn the centre of the Indian Ocean -juSt south of the Equator, and almost the furthest point from land - is the remote Chagos Archipelago. From soundings made in 1837, Charles Darwin came to the conclusion that the seven Chagos islands were all that remain of the Largest coral atoll the world has ever known - but that it was dead, eroding and disappearing beneath the waves.
Earlier this year, biologist DAVID BELLAMY and a Joint Services team of skilled divers spent two months exploring these uninhabited tropical islands, in an attempt to uncover the secrets of ' Darwin's Dead Atoll'.
This film is the story of that expedition and shows the wildlife that was discovered - on land and under the water.

: Master Class: Geraint Evans
rehearses students in scenes from Verdi's FalstaffAnother chance to see the first of six programmes in which the great British baritone Sir Geraint Evans passes on some of the tricks of the trade to a new generation of young singers. For the audience it is a unique opportunity to see the work that an operatic singer has to put into performances that look so natural and easy.

Ron ' Cat' Catlan, fading star quarterback- of the New Orleans Saints football team, is unwilling to face the facts of his failing skills and advancing years. Retirement to an executive desk is an unattractive alternative to the glory he has known on the grid-iron.
Though American football with its heavily-padded forwards batt-ling for an inch of territory may be something of a mystery, the scene ' when the Saints go marching in' is still one of the great spectacles in sport.

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.
