: The Black Ships
The strange and amusing story of the first successful attempt by the United States to establish diplomatic ties with the mysterious, inviolate and feudal Imperial Japan in 1853.Written and presented by Bernard Keeffe with Alan Tilvern as Commodore Matthew T. Perry and David Healey as Townsend Harris, first American Consul in Japan
'The Japanese couldn't see enough of us and our ways. They peered into every nook and cranny, into the muzzles of guns, hauling the ropes, measuring the boats, looking eagerly into the engine room. and constantly making notes and sketches. The Japanese are undoubtedly an intelligent people, and may be made something of in time, but they are just three centuries behind the age in everything.'

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.
Your use of this version of Genome is covered by the BBC Acceptable Use of Information Systems Policy and these terms.
