: Detective: The German Song
A crime series.This week: Denholm Elliott as H.C. Bailey's Reggie Fortune investigates the case of The German Song
Dramatised by Elwyn Jones
Also starring Felix Aylmer, Howard Marion-Crawford, Jack May, Ralph Michael, Brian Oulton and Elizabeth Shepherd
Reggie Fortune, plump, good-humoured, and perhaps just a little idle, is helping his friend Sidney Lomas of Scotland Yard to clear up a possible unnatural death, when they are presented with a problem which both intrigues and baffles them. It is not a murder but a robbery. Priceless and irreplaceable antique jewellery has been stolen from the house of Sir Henry Exon and there seems to be no trace of its whereabouts.
Reggie tears himself away from his favourite pursuits of eating and dozing long enough to astound the professional police investigators by solving the crime. But the vital clue upon which his deduction is based is given to him by his wife, Joan.

: Cause for Concern: The Case of Stephen: Sentenced for Life?
A series which takes up the cause of people fighting for a fair deal.Magnus Magnusson examines The Case of Stephen: Sentenced for Life?
Stephen is seventeen. A year ago he was convicted of assaulting a twelve-year-old girl, a crime that everyone who knows him says he could never have committed. But he was found guilty. Now he is detained in a mental hospital 'for an unlimited period' possibly for life.
What happened at the trial of Stephen? Why did he 'confess' when his parents say he was miles away at the time? What can he do to escape from his 'sentence for life'?

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.
