: George Buchanan - Not for Burning
George Buchanan was the greatest poet and writer of his day in Europe, the shocking political thinker who helped bring down Mary Queen of Scots, the religious dissident who barely escaped the inquisition. If he is almost completely forgotten now it is because he wrote in Latin, the language of educated Europe. Robert Crawford, using his own translations of Buchanan's poetry, introduces us to Scotland's hot-tempered Renaissance genius. Producer Louise YeomanContributors

: The Essay
Under the Influence2/3. imtiaz Dharker was born in Pakistan, but grew up in a strict Muslim home in Glasgow before eloping with an Indian Hindu. It is not surprising then that she is influenced not by a single writer, but a whole school: the Sangam poets who, two millennia ago, wrote their poems in Tamil. Although Dharker does not know the language, through the lens of their translator AK Ramanjuan, these ancient poems of love and war have a profound impact on her work today.

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.
