: The Natural World: Vampires, Devilbirds and Spirits - Tales of the Calypso Isles
The twin Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago are celebrated for carnival, calypso and their fertile tradition of folklore. They are also distinguished for the richness of their wildlife - the fact that they were once part of the South American mainland gives their natural history a diversity unique among the islands.Tonight's film includes unique infra-red footage of the elusive cave-dwelling oilbirds, and visits locations that required mules and donkeys to transport the camera equipment.
Folklore and animals come together in the bewitching tales of Trinidad's "master story-teller" Paul Keens-Douglas, whose legends also are brought to life in the film.

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.
