Mrs Mariner is getting bored. The old man comes home after a hard day pestering people with his lurid seafaring yarns, and all he wants is his tea and the paper. Meanwhile, in another place and time, Laura Sparrow is fed up with her husband's obsession with Coleridge's poem and his philandering with female students. As characters from these narratives start to invade each others' lives, the question is, who is writing the script?Contributors

: Putin's Game
1/2. Last spring Vladimir Putin won a landslide victory for a second term as Russian president. Less than a year later his firm grip on power looks decidedly shaky. He promised to bring security to Chechnya but the conflict is spreading. Revolutions on Russia's borders in a string of former Soviet Republics are making Moscow feel ever more isolated. In this programme Lucy Ash investigates the erosion of the Russian President's power base. She meets grassroots political movements, and looks at the Kremlin's attempts to impose its will on the powerful regions. She asks the question that many Russians are asking: could an Orange Revolution unseat Putin? Producer Nick SturdeeContributors

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.
