: Colette
StarringClementine Amouroux
Macha Meril
A dramatisation in two parts of the life of the French writer, Colette, whose own story was every bit as scandalous as the risque novels that so pleasantly shocked French society at the turn of the century. A shy country girl who married an old family friend, Colette had to be forced into Parisian society. But her unscrupulous husband, Willy, was a connoisseur both of literary salons and of the low life.
Director Gerard Poitou-Weber (In French with English subtitles. Part 2 next Friday.)

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.
Welcome to BBC Genome
