: More Rhodes around Britain
In the third of six programmes, travelling chef Gary Rhodes visits Orkney where he cooks up his gastronomic treats in a solitary cottage on Inner Holm, one of the smallest of the Orkney islands. Having hitched a lift to the island with the Stromness lifeboat crew, he prepares ox-cheek stew with caramelised shallots and clapshot, a local favourite made from Orcadian swede and potato puree. On the trail of scallops he takes a rough ride on a fishing boat past the Old Man of Hoy - and gets a drenching only worthwhile forthe resulting dish, scallops with fennel salad. To complete the menu he uses plenty of Orkney's most abundant fruit, rhubarb, with lemons to create a sponge served with a rhubarb sauce and custard.Director/Producer Paul O'Connor

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
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
