: Between the Ears
The last of six experiments in creative radio.Procession to the Private Sector
The first production of a surrealist film scenario written in 1936 by the poet
David Gascoyne , the most prominent English writer of that movement, and rewritten by him in the 1980s after the manuscript was found in the British Library. Adapted as a "film for radio" by Sean Street , with new music by John Surman , it features
Simon Callow as the Camera. The story - of the vicissitudes of a pair of lovers, the thuggery of anonymous power, social cataclysm and reconciliation - springs from a dream of Gascoyne's and is dramatised through symbol, myth and startling, sometimes comedic, imagery. With
Carolyn Jones , Christopher Robbie , Colleen Prendergast and Orlando Wells. Musicians are John Surman
(saxophones/electronic sounds) and Chris Laurence (bass). Producer Julian May

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.
