: The Nature of Australia
A portrait of an island continent in six episodes. 1: A Separate CreationAustralia is a treasure-trove of extraordinary wildlife - the platypus, the marsupial kangeroos and koalas, the unique gum trees and vividly coloured parrots. Nature seems to be turned upside down; some mammals lay eggs, some hop rather than run and swans are black. There is nowhere like it in the world.

: Alexei Sayle's Stuff
Last in the six-part series. How to Point at ChickensDear Radio Times,
I switched on my TV set at 9 o'clock this Thursday expecting to see another edition of Alexei Sayle's Stuff as advertised - what a disappointment! Due to the whim of those mandarins in programme planning, the series was not cancelled to make way for last-minute coverage of the Embassy Pro-Am Snooker final from the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield. Spare a thought for the poor sporting viewer please!

For this, and for her economic policies, she became known as the Iron Lady of the Caribbean. But despite the iron image she is an accessible politician - and a champion of women's right to a place in politics.Presenter Jenni Murray.

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.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
