Fifty years ago British forces were engaged in a brutal and terrifying battle against an unknown enemy that operated in secret cells hidden within mainstream society. The place was Kenya and the enemy, the feared and savage Mau Mau. This is the story of Eric Holyoak, a white European settler who, with a group of captured Mau Mau fighters, developed new counter-insurgency techniques that were to change the entire course of the war.Contributors

: The Surfing Rabbi and the Long, Long Run
What's God got to do with surfing? Everything, according to Nachum Shifren , known to LA longboarders as "the surfing rabbi". He argues that the disciplines of surfing are analogous to the requirements of orthodox Judaism. His story is echoed by followers of the mystic Sri Chinmoy , who believe that one path to enlightenment is to run huge distances in "self-transcendence" races. We join them at the start of a competition to see who can run the furthest in 24 hours. Producer Hugh LevinsonContributors

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.
