: Olympic Grandstand
The XV Olympic Winter Games live from Calgary Men's Downhill Introduced by Desmond LynamAt Nakiska, just outside
Calgary, the world's fastest men compete for the most coveted prize in alpine ski-ing. The favourite is
Switzerland's PIRMIN
ZURBRIGGEN, but his fellow countryman, World
Champion PETER MUELLER , aims to go one better than his silver medal in Sarajevo. Then he was pipped by the brash American
Bill Johnson , but a greater threat this time are the Italian
MICHAEL MAIR and ROB BOYD of Canada. MARTIN BELL -
18th four years ago - carries British hopes once again.
Also today, the first medals of the 1988 games were decided in the women's
10,000m cross-country ski-ing and there's action from the ice hockey tournament - the USSR began their title defence earlier today - and the men's luge. Commentators

: Design Classics
Fourth of six films about some of the 20th century's most enduring designs. The Aga CookerIt's hard to imagine anything more at odds with the hi-tech, microwave, designer-kitchen age than the Aga cooker.
It's formidably heavy. It's far from cheap to buy and install. And yet its popularity has grown ever since it came to England from Sweden in 1929. More than just a commercial success story, it has come to symbolise the quintessence of upper- and middle-class rural life. In Chiswick and the Isle of Dogs it suggests the warm heart of the English country home.

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.
