A report by Trevor PhilpottGreenpeace fights in the front line of the conservation battle, where the whales or the seals are being killed, the toxic waste is being dumped, the bombs are being exploded. Their policy is non-violent direct action.
They break the law and make the headlines, and in a few years they've grown from a handful of west-coast idealists into a fashionable international movement.
This is the story of how it happened, told through some of their most impudent and most daring campaigns. Producer CAROLINE WEAVER Series editor PETER JONES BBC Bristol (R)

: Rene Cutforth: From our Special Correspondent
Robert Kee introduces the first of four films which recall the life and work of reporter Rene Cutforth who died last year.A Reporter Returns
One of the last of a vanishing breed of radio correspondents and war reporters,
Rene Cutforth was also a writer of great talent who travelled widely as a journalist for television. He was one of the BBC's Special
Correspondents for the first tragic year of the Korean War.
It was an assignment that culminated with the heroic stand of the Gloucesters at the Imjin River. Of the 741 men in the battalion only 46 reached their own lines.
Rene Cutforth was one of the last journalists to leave the deserted capital of Seoul.
Twenty years later, in 1971, he returned to South Korea to see what this energetic country, still divided from the North, had made of its ruin. Series compiled by JENNY CROPPER

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.
