'The experience of a lifetime' is promised the passengers of the cruise ship Romanza.
From an early morning climb to the Acropolis on Rhodes, to the Greek dancing class after lunch; while 'Tea for two' echoes through the Corinth Canal, an astrologer predicts in the ballroom. Should it be Crete this afternoon, the treasure hunt or preparing for the Wild West night? By the time a new 'Mr Romanza' is elected each week, the passengers have lost count of the days (let alone the meals) and the crew stopped trying long ago.
Nigel Farrell goes aboard to see how they all cope with the rough and tumble of a calm Mediterranean cruise - and each other.

One hundred and fifty years after his first fairy tales were written, Denmark celebrates
Hans Christian Andersen year. Born the son of a shoemaker, he left home at the age of 14 to try to become a dancer, convinced that God planned a great destiny for him. As we now know, his destiny lay elsewhere. He was a complex and interesting character: overanxious for praise, despondent when criticised; writing about the poor while courting the rich and aristocratic; a traveller
(who always carried a stout rope for escape in the event of fire).
Lynn ten Kate looks at the life of the author of some of the best-known tales for children. Producer SUSAN SNAILUM

The Art of the Computer
The computer has become an increasingly versatile tool for the arts - theatre design, architectural drawings, television graphics and animation have all been affected, while in music, the synthesizer can imitate a hundred-voice choir or a bank of violins. But the applications go deeper - Pierre Boulez has just marked up ten years of the experimental music centre IRCAM in Paris; and David Hockney has recently met up with the computerised 'paintbox'.
Lisa Appignanesi reports on the state of the art.

Killer whales are the most powerful of the dolphin family and the only whales to take warm-blooded prey. Baby seals are plucked from beaches, penguins are tipped off icebergs in the Antarctic, turtles, squid and sharks are taken in tropical seas, and one orca, lost up a Scottish river, developed a penchant for ducks.

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.
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.
