Missouri, 1843. A wagon train of pioneers sets off on the hazardous Oregon trail, led by the ruthless Senator Tadlock, who is obsessed by the vision of the new city he plans to build.

: Heart of the Matter: Terrorism: Their War, Our Weakness?
The first of six programmes with David JesselAt the beginning of the summer, an event at a hot airport in the Middle East triggered the formal declaration of a world war.
The event was the hijack of a TWA airliner; and the war declared by the Western World was against international terrorism.
At the heart of the matter is the dilemma of democracies exasperated by terror; if we cannot yield to it, cannot live with it, and must fight fire with fire. how far in that conflagration are we prepared to sacrifice that compassion, that caution, those humanitarian values which, in this vulnerable civilisation, are both its strength and its weakness?

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.
