'It was a halcyon period, I'm afraid, idyllic, when I look back at it ... There were notices of exhortation from the c-in-c saying the defences of Malaya cannot be invaded ... We didn't believe that the Japs could come in through the back door in gym shoes through the jungle and knock the place sideways.'

: Actuality: Fast Forward to Wigan
A series of montage documentaries'I like this group. I like the way it works, and I'm very interested in art being accessible and people being able to use artists the same way as they'd use bricklayers.'
'When somebody told me they were coming down I thought I'd give it a try, and ever since then I've enjoyed it. They work in a friendly way. Not what you'd expect.'
'Working with people like that is incredibly exciting because you are actually breaking ground that hasn't been touched before.'
'At first they treat it as a laugh. Then they get more serious, but I don't think a fortnight's long enough. I wish everybody would get involved, because I think its a great thing.'
A Community Arts Workshop team from Manchester took a two-week multi-media project, Fast Forward, to the Annexe, a youth club at Norley Hall, Wigan. This programme reflects how they got on.

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.
