: The Natural World
Treasures of the Gulf Pearls once brought wealth to the Arabian Gulf - today it comes from oil. The Gulf's bounteous wildlife - from coral reefs, turtles and migrating birds to myriads of fish - is part of its natural riches too. This film, made before the recent GulfWar, asks how long these priceless treasures can survive the onslaught of modern development and the polluting effects of conflict which now threaten its shores.

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.
