: THE HOMOSEXUAL CONDITION
A study of a social problem by C. R. HewittThe Wolfenden Committee, whose report is expected shortly, was set up by the Home Secretary in 1954 ' to consider (a) the law and practice relating to homosexual offences and the treatment of persons convicted of such offences by the courts; and (b) the law and practice relating to offences against the criminal law in connection with prostitution and solicitation for immoral purposes; and to report what changes, if any, are in their opinion desirable.'
This programme relates to the first matter under consideration by the Committee. Mr. Hewitt presents the opinions of authorities who have been concerned with the homosexual as a patient and, in the present situation, as a lawbreaker.
Those taking part include :
Kenneth Walker surgeon and sexologist
Claud Mullins former Metropolitan Magistrate a psychiatrist and a prison medical officer

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.
Welcome to BBC Genome
