: Realms of the Russian Bear: Green Jewel of the Caspian
A six-part series celebrating the natural history of the former USSR.Together, Russia and the Central Asian Republics are full of scenic splendour, boasting the biggest of forests, boundless steppes, extensive deserts, the oldest and deepest freshwater lake in the world and the largest inland sea in the world - the Caspian. Sitting amid the arid lands bordering Central Asia, the Volga Delta is a wetland seething with aquatic life - including sturgeon - and home to millions of birds including sea eagles, egrets, geese and pelicans. During the autumn it acts as a refuge for tens of thousands of Arctic-nesting whooper swans, and hosts some of Russia's unique saiga antelope from the steppes of Karlmyckia.
Presented by Nikolai Drozdov.

: City of Strangers
The last in the series looking at the influence of European talent on the American cinema.A Sense of Difference. By 1941 America was at war. Everyone had their role to play and for some of the exiles based in the movie capital of Los Angeles, the roles had more than a touch of irony. Refugee Jews played screen Nazis as Hollywood fought the propaganda battle.
But the exiles weren't confined to those in the film industry. Writers and composers like Bertolt Brecht and Arnold
Schoenberg also made tinsel town their home.

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.
