: Ski Sunday
featuring the Men's Downhill and Men's Slalom from KitzbuehelIt's festival time here in the Austrian Tyrol as this fashionable resort hosts ski racing's most dramatic and spectacular event - the Hahnenkamm. For the spectator it's an exhilarating experience, but for the ski racer it's the ultimate test of skill, stamina and, above all, nerve. The 'Streif downhill course is the most unforgiving piste on the World Cup circuit, so the satisfaction of survival is the simple ambition of most - only the brave dare to hope for more.
DAVID VINE describes the memorable moments of this downhill and slalom weekend; DAVID GOLDSTROM reports from Switzerland on preparations for next week's World Alpine Championships at Crans-Montana.

: The Natural World
Bats Need FriendsEver since Dracula, bats have had a bad press and been falsely accused of spreading disease, fouling our lofts and catching in ladies' hair. This film, to celebrate the end of National Bat Year, shows how, in truth, all British bats are soft, warm, harmless and intelligent little mammals with the friendly habit of consuming millions of insect pests every night. Stunning photography reveals how bats navigate in the dark, bring up their young, catch moths in acrobatic flight and survive the rigours of winter, and why, when a new estate was built in a Yorkshire village, the local bats moved straight in. With numbers still declining rapidly, well-known 'batman'
Bob Stebbings shows how new research and elaborate conservation measures might just save our much-maligned bats for the future.

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.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
