What happens to four writers from the north-east of England when they visit Siberia on a British Council reading tour? What will the writers from the Tyne make the frozen heart of Russia and Novosibirsk, the Siberian capital, a place further away from Moscow than London? It was once the centre of the Soviet empire's nuclear research programme, a place where secrets were jealously guarded and completely closed to westerners until a decade ago. The Communists may no longer be in power but, as the writers discover for themselves, appearances can be deceptive. Producer Caroline BeckContributors

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.
