It's been a good few weeks since we started linking to radio and TV programmes available on the BBC website to their Genome listings - and since we first posted on the BBC Genome blog.
Since then, we have increased the listings from where you can watch and listen to programmes to 8,548 - and the number of those linking to TV programmes has increased from the original 282 to 363.
This has been possible thanks to a very dedicated group of contibutors who have been digging out true archive gems from the BBC website and submitting them. Special mention to Stuart Ian Burns, who has been finding amazing content and submitting it to us, like this 1967 Whicker's World episode about the stresses of divorce.
We have been slowly adding all of your suggestions - mainly because we want to be methodical and go through them collection by collection, rather than adding individual links. We are also constantly making editorial decisions as it's a grey line between clips and programmes - we tend to only use clips when it's all that is left from an archive programme, and not too short. Finally, we're adding programmes that are available permanently or at least for more than a year.
But please keep sending your suggestions - in a matter of weeks, the BBC Genome content has been enriched with your finds. Have we missed anything? Can we link to other BBC programmes we haven't included?
Also, we would like to highlight some of your favourite listings and content on the blog, as we would love for it to become a meeting place for people passionate about the BBC Archive. We have shared some of our favourites already, but we really want to hear from you. Any unusual listings that depict British society at the time? Any amazing archive content to watch or listen to?
