: Country File
Twenty years ago Loch Neagh in Northern Ireland turned green, suffering from the kind of algal overgrowth that is now causing problems in many of England's lakes and reservoirs. AsChris Baines reports, research in Northern Ireland has probably solved the problem there and opened the way to controlling other forms of water pollution. But will the newly privatised water industry have the courage and far-sightedness to invest in a radical and unusual method of keeping our water clean?

: Blackadder the Third: Dish and Dishonesty
Comic tales of a dubious dynasty starring Rowan AtkinsonEngland, 1760-1815: a golden age of wealth, power, discovery. But not for
E Blackadder Esq, butler to the Prince Regent. The new prime minister, Pitt the Younger (aged 13¾), plans to bankrupt the prince. As usual, Blackadder takes his master's side (and indeed his wallet). A rip-roaring tale of sex and politics, not to be missed for its libel-action opportunities.

Many families with donor children also wish that information be kept secret - but whose rights are primary?Joan Bakewell meets parents, children, donors and clinicians to unravel the implications of parenthood when donor makes three.

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.
