The Junk Adventure of the Tai KiAt the most distant point from land anywhere in the world - in the North Pacific - a Chinese river junk met a disaster.
Tai Ki had been built in Hong Kong to an ancient pattern to try to prove that the Chinese of 2,000 years ago could have reached South America.
From the beginning there had been problems. Would the traditional methods and equipment used in its construction stand up to such an epic voyage? Delays during building took departure into the typhoon season and experts advised against it. The international crew of eight were mostly inexperienced. Could they ever work as a team?
They almost made it, but disaster was to come from an unexpected source.

Tonight's film
Une Partie de
Campagne starring
Jeanne Marken Sylvie Bataille
This nostalgic love-story set on an idyllic summer's day has remained one of the best-loved of Renoir's works. A Parisian ironmonger takes his family on a Sunday outing to the country. While he snores through the afternoon oblivious of the beauty around him, both his wife and daughter find romance on the river bank. To the wit and bitter-sweetness of Guy de Maupassant's story, Renoir's film adds a serenity and joy underlined by the simple musical score.
Written and directed by JEAN RENOIR

So the Perri trial comes to an end. Perri, Perri's wife, Weiss ' the snitch', the Judge, the jurors and the Prosecutor all talk freely about disturbing developments in and out of court.

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.
