Mini Monet4: Thoroughly Modem Monet
As one of the original Impressionists, Monet is often thought of primarily as a 19th-century artist, but he painted more than 450 paintings after 1900. Some of his later work was neglected and left in his studio after his death in 1926, but Monet's reputation underwent a dramatic revival in the 1950s, when critics saw a link between his late works and those of the abstract expressionists. Artist John Bellany and historians Briony Fer and Maryanne Stevens are among those exploring the distinctive qualities and enormous scale of Monet's last great works. With excerpts from Monet's letters read by Paul Scofield.

: Night Waves
What is in a voice? While one 17th-century thinker believed the voice to be an expression of male sexual potency and a 20th-century theorist once called for revolt against"phonetic consciousness", there is no doubt that the human voice is a complex, powerful and intensely personal phenomenon. Paul Allen explores a many-layered story of philosophy and feeling with Jonathan Ree , author of / See a Voice:

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.
