: Discovering Portuguese
A six-part introduction to the language and people4: Alfama, the Alentejo, and the April Revolution
On 25 April 1974, Europe's most recent revolution ended 48 years of dictatorship in Portugal. It brought, among other things, a hard-fought legacy of land reform to the stunning sun-drenched region of the Alentejo, in southern Portugal, where the cork oak and the co-operative dominate the landscape.

: Match of the Day Live
Liverpool v EvertonIntroduced by Jimmy Hill with Trevor Brooking
Of the 136 League derbies played between the giants of Merseyside, all of them in the First Division, Liverpool have won 48 to Everton's 47, with 41 games drawn. These clubs head the parade of champions, Liverpool having won the title 16 times and Everton taking their total to nine last season.
Since then, Liverpool have sold Ian Rush to Italy, the exciting talents of John Barnes and Peter Beardsley have arrived, and John Aldridge has scored in match after match in the Barclays League this season.
Everton's main change has been in command, with Colin Harvey promoted to succeed Howard Kendall. The man to watch: Everton's number 9 Graeme Sharp, shooter of six goals in two matches in October.

All Saints Day from Salisbury CathedralSalisbury is one of England's most beautiful and historic cities, and its pride is its magnificent cathedral, completed in 1258. On the day when we celebrate all the Christian saints, the young people of Salisbury have come together to sing their Songs of Praise, including one especially written to raise money to save the cathedral's spire.
Pam Rhodes talks to JOLIE

: Everyman
Is God an American?Over the past ten years, Guatemala has been the focus for the most aggressive evangelisation process since the Spanish conquistadores came to Latin America.
Today, nearly one third of the population are 'born again' Christians - mostly Pentecostals like the American TV evangelist Jimmy Swaggart , whose crusades have become one of the country's most popular television programmes.
For Swaggart, Guatemala is in the front line of a battle between good and evil, with the Roman Catholic Church and the Communists cast together in the role of Satan. This religious conflict now threatens further divisions among the Indian communities, already the worst sufferers from a decade of bitter civil war.

Six speculations on life in the computer age with Robert Powell4: The Pact
Imagine that power has shifted from the Atlantic to the Pacific Basin; that
America, Japan, Australia and China form a military and commercial alliance. Suppose that warfare has become so automated that human reflexes are too slow to compete; that tanks and planes under the control of computers fight without people on board, and even declaring war is automated. Could an insurgent group in the Philippines accidentally start the countdown to the Third World War? Sound DOUG MAWSON

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.
