BBC Genome site

My apologies if this has already been publicised.
I recently stumbled across the Genome facility on the BBC website. It provides links to very many programmes - TV and radio. There seem to be many programmes on chess which are of potential interest:

It has been linked and mentioned a couple of times before (2014, 2015 and earlier this year in 2023) but it does need to be publicised more. Some interesting material there.

Top tip: untick "Show only playable programmes" to get the full set of over 2000 results for chess all the way back to 1923.

My apologies - I should have searched more effectively.

Please don't apologise! The more people look through the search results, the more likely there will be interesting discoveries made.
