: The Education Programme
One of the first actions of the present Government was to issue a circular to local education authorities telling them, in effect, that they weren't obliged to 'go comprehensive.' So the comprehensive issue is one which will be settled locally.In the first of two programmes the issues are debated by Brian Jackson (Director of ACE) and Angus Maude, MP

: Made in Britain: Highland Gateway
With the conference season in full swing, attention is sharply focused on one of the big problems - pressure on accommodation. All the political parties are now restricted to a choice of virtually two or three resorts, and the steady increase in the number of overseas visitors has also exposed the need for more comprehensive facilities for combining work and leisure. But two wealthy Scottish businessmen believe they may have found the answer - only a few miles from the heart of Glasgow.Contributors

: In Time of War: Yangtse Incident
A season of British films featuring acts of courage in the-face of the enemy. This week starring Richard Toddwith William Hartnell, Akim Tamiroff, Donald Houston
HMS Amethyst's daring flight down the Communist-controlled Yangtse river in July 1949 is already part of naval history.
The story of the Amethyst is not so far away from today's rash of hi-jacking. The People's Liberation Army of China held the frigate as 'ransom' for an admission of criminal responsibility by the Navy.
Tonight's film, directed by Michael Anderson who was also responsible for The Dam Busters, stars Richard Todd in the part of Lieutenant Commander John S. Kerans, who captained the crippled ship during its 140-mile ordeal.

: Omnibus presenting: Shapes in a Wilderness
A documentary on Art Therapy"It's as if I were in a sort of garden and the whole world were outside."
What role can painting play in helping mental patients to reveal their innermost feelings? Healing powers are claimed for Art Therapy, but in practice the experts often disagree. In this film, shot in mental hospitals, the patients describe how and why they paint and give an insight into the activity of painting itself. Something painful, revealing and occasionally beautiful emerges from the hospital studios as this film clearly shows.

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.
