The Last HuntersAndrew Koenig and his friends from Kivalina - a remote settlement on the Arctic coast of Alaska - hope to take another whale. Once, whales gave them much of their food and, in hunting them from frail skin-boats, they derived their folklore and their self-esteem. But now whales are scarce and are
'rationed' by the International Whaling Commission. So the skills and traditions of the Inupiat - as the Eskimos prefer to be called - are dying. The old ways are rapidly being replaced by the welfare cheque and a cash economy. For Andrew Koenig and his friends progress is not a painless thing ... Directed and filmed by GRAHAM JOHNSTON

: Notes in the Margin 1980-89
Six personal guesses at how future generations may interpret the last ten years. 3: Natural MovementsIn the Green 80s, nature became the basis of a new and powerful morality. The last ten years have seen the unprecedented growth of alternative medicine, an obsession with bodies and what goes in and comes out of them. Author
Rosalind Coward believes that a mythical version of nature has now acquired almost magical qualities and, against a background of apocalyptic fears about the environment, these beliefs and practices suggest a new Middle Ages.
She talks to the people behind these natural movements: entrepreneurs like Anita Roddick and the 80s priesthood of complementary healers. What links the ideas of the New Age to Edwina Currie and northern diets?
Was the colon really the organ of the decade and did nature worship replace democracy in the magical 1980s?

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.
Your use of this version of Genome is covered by the BBC Acceptable Use of Information Systems Policy and these terms.
