: A Most Horrid Flame
We went to a little alehouse on the Bankside and there stayed till it was dark almost and saw the fire grow, and as it grow darker appeared more and more, and in corners and upon steeples and between churches and houses, as far as we could see up the hill of the City, in a most horrid malicious bloody flame....The Great Fire of 1666 was one of the most calamitous events in the history of London. The fire destroyed four-fifths of the city and 100,000 people were made homeless. Samuel Pepys was an eyewitness, as he was of so many other historic events of his day.
In this adaptation of volumes 6 and 7 in the new definitive edition of the Diary we see the private and the public Pepys during the momentous years of the Plague, the Great Fire and the Naval War with the Dutch. with Michael Hordern as Samuel Pepys

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.
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.
