FishingBritain's most popular outdoor participant sport is fishing -over three-and-a-half million people do it. In the studio to answer questions on almost any aspect of angling, from what tackle you need to get started, where to fish, how best to handle the caught fish, to problems of conservation and poaching, are two keen fishermen: the Director of the National Anglers' Council, Peter Tombleson ; and the former fly-fishing champion of Wales and Chairman of the Welsh Anglers' Council, Moc Morgan.

2: Tuesday: The Great and Good Mr Handel
by Stanley SadieThe first of three programmes celebrating the life and work of the composer who was born 300 years ago, on 23 February 1685. For 250 years, George Frederic Handel has been at the centre of England's musical life. His anthem Zadok the Priest has been sung at every coronation since 1727, and his oratorio
Messiah has been performed more often here than anywhere else in the world.
Though he was born at Halle in Saxony and spoke all his life with a thick German accent, he came to regard England as his home and, when he died in 1759, he was buried among the greatest of his adopted compatriots in Westminster Abbey.
Narrated by John Rowe with Carl Duering as Handel and MICHAEL TUDOR BARNES, CAROLE BOYD, MARGOT BOYD, GWEN CHERRELL, WILLIAM EEDLE, NIGEL GRAHAM, GARARD GREEN, CLIFFORD NORGATE and JOHN RYE

: 'Lawrence, Mablethorpe and Me'
Short-story writer Jenny Hursell has loved Mablethorpe mLincolnshire since she was a child. But it's such a tiny, insignificant seaside resort that she was amazed to discover her feelings about its huge empty beaches and wide horizons were shared by D. H. Lawrence , author of the autobiographical Sons and Lovers. So, did Brook Cottage really exist? Can we follow the young Lawrence and his girlfriend Jessie Chambers along the dykes to the sea?

: A Seder Night
Four nights ago, Rabbi Daniel Smith and his family joined Jewish families all over the world in celebration of the first evening of Passover. Regardless of nationality, Jews are united by their observance in Hebrew of the Seder, through which they reaffirm freedom from slavery.Rabbi Smith 's family, with its
Spanish-Portuguese, Polish and Czech origins, came together to remember that first escape of the Children of Israel and, in so doing, recalled some of their own experiences of release from persecution.

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.
