: The Secret Life of the Circus
Behind the glitter and thrill of the Big Top, the circus is in difficulties -audiences are falling and competition is stiff. Yet the old-style troupe, travelling the country with artists and animals, still exists -as in the Roberts Brothers' Super Circus.The Roberts family has brought this form of entertainment to the public for generations. They perform and organise a show containing tigers and elephants, clowns and magicians, ringboys and grooms- week by week, town by town, rain or shine.
Circus people are closely-related and close-knit. Margaret Percy goes 'behind the curtain' to reveal how - and why - they live as they do, and contrasts the 'secret life' with the public face. Producer SHARON BANOFF

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.
