: * The British Connection?
The last of 12 films from different parts of the UK which explore people's sense of identity. CheamDeep in commuter country, on the edge of the green belt, Cheam has a lot going for it. Near the West End of London, but not too near, it has a village atmosphere and an air of prosperity and stability. The verges are well clipped, the sports clubs well used, and the pubs well patronised. It is a place where the traditional English virtues of decency, patriotism and self-reliance are still taken very seriously.

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.
