The Deep Blue Sea by TERENCE RATTIGAN with Isabel Dean as Hester CollyerHester is intense, artistic and loving. Freddie is gregarious. noisy and devil-may-care. They need each other and yet their needs are so different.... Is there any hope for them both to make a life together?
This play, first produced in 1952. has been performed many times since then and in various mediums, and provides splendid acting roles for both the main characters.

CochranA musical portrait of the great showman, presented by SAM HEPPNER , which includes the voices of C.B. himself and some of the stars associated with him - Richard Rodgers , Jessie Matthews , and Anna Neagle who says: ' Cochran wasn't only a brilliant showman. He was such a human person. He knew us all by name ... When an understudy had to play the part for a principal he'd always write a letter thanking whoever it happened to be. When I had my tonsils out. flowers were sent to the hospital.'

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.
