Television listings from post-2009 can be accessed via the BBC Programmes site. History Prior BBC Genome is not the first online searchable database.

Britten had previously written the music for MacNeice's ''The Agamemnon of Aeschylus'' (1936), and ''Out of the Picture'' (1937). MacNeice asked Britten to write music for ''The Dark Tower'' "with the greatest economy". The play was first broadcast on 21 January 1946, a Monday, at 9:15pm. It was introduced as "a parable play on the ancient theme of the Quest, suggested by Robert Browning's poem Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came".
