Can a nun of a teaching order. for example, satisfactorily impart to her pupils that knowledge of the ways of the world that is an essential part of their education — destined, as most of them are, not to be nuns themselves?LESLIE SMITH talks about these and other matters to a DOMINICAN NUN, herself the headmistress of her convent's school

: THE AMERICAN BUSINESS INVASION
With the Chrysler take-over of Rootes, more than half of Britain's car industry is now owned by Americans. Some people resent the encroachment of American business in this and many other fields: they fear U.S. subsidiaries may not be managed in the best interests of Britain.This programme looks at the extent of American control of British industry and the effect it has on our export trade. Are American methods really more efficient, and what are the dangers of American control?

About this project
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
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
