Something for 'Mature Dovorians' to re-live past memories when the BBC radio and TV channels provided some decent entertainment.
The BBC 'Genome' Project has now gone 'live' - for those that are not ware - the project is a web site that contains the BBC listings information which was printed in 'Radio Times' from 1923 - 2009.

It's quite an interesting read, unfortunately you cannot hear or see the programs - but reading the schedules brings back happy memories - to me at least.
A search for 'Dover' revealed that amongst many other entries, on the 15th April 1946 the BBC 'Home Service' (remember that? - Radio 4 to you younger readers) at 1830 a program entitled 'Dover to Calais' was broadcast to celebrate the resumption of the 'Golden Arrow' service.
I'd like to say that I listened to it - but as i was just 7 weeks old i cannot recall it!
Also, amongst others, the schedule for all channels needs a complete rewrite for the period 31st August 1997 - early September 1997!
