ONE WORLD, ONE VOICE 3.00pm BBC2
This unique musical adventure was first screened in May as the climax to One World Week. Kevin Godley (below), producer, video-maker and ex-10cc songwriter and drummer, began with a bass line recorded in New York by Sting. He then took the tape 'around the world in 44 days', building up a musical chain letter involving 65 acts from five continents - from Lou Reed to the Leningrad Symphony Orchestra. Tonight's film shows Godley's musical journey followed by his video record of the complete work.

Presented by Normski.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
