Ring of Bright Water and Beyond Gavin Maxwell , 1914-1969 by ALAN CORMACKMijbil, Edal and Teko are the otters immortalised in GAVIN MAX WELL'S books. But the man himself was an enigma. On the tenth anniversary of his death this dramatised biography examines Maxwell's life. Poet, portrait painter, naturalist and writer, it was Gavin Maxwell who did so much to gain protection for that shy, elusive, beautiful creature, the otter, and whose books have brought so much happiness to so many people all over the world - but brought tragedy to himself.

: Richard Strauss Weekend
The second of two programmes of music by Richard Strauss to mark the 30th anniversary of his death is devoted to the first performance on television of The Legend of JosepiiIn 1912 Diaghilev, greatest of all impresarios, commissioned a ballet from the composer Richard Strauss. Working on the scenario with his collaborator Hugo von Hofmannsthal they decided to tell the Old Testament story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife. The ballet was premiered in Paris in 1914, choreographed by Michael Fokine , with Leonide Massine as Joseph, and conducted by Strauss himself.
In this production, the young American choreographer JOHN NEU -MEIER has recreated the ballet for the great American modern dancer Judith Jamison , who plays Potiphar's wife. The role of Joseph is danced by the young American dancer Kevin Haigen. Also taking part with the Ballet of the Vienna State Opera and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conductor

: Film of the Week: Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams
starringJoanne Woodward , Martin Balsam Sylvia Sidney
Rita Walden is chic and attractive, seemily happily married and yet strangely dissatisfied. When her mother dies suddenly, her husband suggests a trip to Europe in an attempt to resolve the crisis in their marriage. It is a trip that is to affect traumatically both their lives.
Both Joanne Woodward and Sylvia Sidney received Oscar nominations for their roles as mother and daughter, in this moving portrait of contemporary American life.

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.
