The Fifth Gospel. A fusion of drama and documentary written and performed by Nabil Shaban (star of last year's Royal Court Theatre production of Iranian Nights) with Tina Leslie. 'Why me? Was my soul especially wicked that I should incur a greater curse? Do I want a miracle?' A young disabled pilgrim to Lourdes confronts her inner torments about the 'miracle' which might make her 'whole' and thus 'good'. Her guide is a Victorian magic lanternist who has strayed into the 20th century to ask some uncomfortable questions about the nature of miracles, and about how the Christian church has treated disability.Editor Jane Drabble

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.
