: Heart of the Matter
Unfinished Business.British prisoners of war Alan Hicks and Albert Lougher worked as slave labourers for the German company I G Farben during the latter years of the Second World War. After the war Farben was liquidated so the question of compensation was thought to be impossible. But this October the situation took a dramatic turn with the unification of Germany. Farben is hoping to claim lost assets estimated at £2 billion. Does this mean that the British prisoners of war have a chance of getting compensation for their years as slave labourers?
Joan Bakewell investigates their claims and their hopes for compensation.

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.
