: Golden Boat for a Sea God
written and narrated by Sam Hanna BellIn the spring of 1896, two ploughmen were working in a field near the village of Broighter in County Londonderry when they accidentally stumbled on some of the most important archaeological artefacts ever to be found in Ireland - the Broighter Hoard. But their extraordinary discovery soon became the centre of a raging controversy between the British Museum and the Royal Irish Academy.
Sam Hanna Bell tells the story of the struggle for possession of these priceless objects.

(Repeated: Wednesday 1.40 pm): Downhill All the Way
Ski-ing across country is centuries old, but the idea of ski-ing downhill is very much a British invention. Michael Smee traces the struggles faced by the early downhill skiers and chronicles the evolution of a prosaic and strenuous means of crossing snow-covered mountains into a world-wide leisure pursuit and an Olympic sport.

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.
