: Sondheim on Broadway
The first of two programmes Follies: Four Days in New York Broadway, 6 September 1985.A unique concert performance of Stephen Sondheim 's Follies, a cult musical ever since it was first staged in 1971, with a top line cast that would never be assembled for a normal theatre run. This film follows four hectic days of rehearsal for the gala concert, and shows highlights from one of Broadway's most memorable nights. After the show, Carol Burnett said 'It was like being shot out of a cannon', and the New York Times reported,
'The audience simply erupted into pandemonium'.
The principal performers are Lee Remick

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.
