: Titchmarsh on Song
Alan Titchmarsh sets off on a countrywide pilgrimage in this six-part series that explores religious music-making in Britain.Accompanied by resident vocal group Angel Voices, he talks to people about their music and their motivations.
A Chants Encounter. Some of the earliest recorded Christian song, the Gregorian chant, goes back a thousand years, but is still sung in abbeys, convents, and parishes. In France, the musicians of Taize have taken the shape of this old plainsong, and transformed it into an essential ingredient of modern Christian worship.
The monks and laity of Ampleforth Abbey, the community of St Hilda 's,
Whitby, and the Taize group of Clifton Cathedral, Bristol, are featured this week.

PrayingtoWinWhen Madeline Manning-Mims won her gold medal at the 1968 Mexican Olympics, she believed she was running in praise of the Lord. Next month, as an Olympic chaplain, she will be telling America's athletes that they have God on their side. She is part of the growing connection between
Christianity and sport in the United States. Forty per cent of professional athletes claim to be believers, but there are those who question that faith and accuse them of merely praying to win.

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.
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.
