: Crime Limited
A programme that is not just about crime, but which looks at its victims and the people whose lives are affected by crime and its consequences.The object is to try to right the balance in favour of the people criminals try not to think about - those whom the justice system itself often seems to overlook.
Tonight, the schoolboy who spent thousands of pounds of other people's money, and the parents who had to face up to his guilt; how a killer was trapped ten years after the crime; and the fight for justice by a man who spent five years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.

: Patricia Routledge in A Lady of Letters
Alan Bennett created "Miss Ruddock, whose only pleasure in life is her Basildon Bond" for the Talking Heads series of monologues, first broadcast in 1988. It was not his first collaboration with the doughty Miss Routledge; they had made another monologue, A Woman of No Importance, in the early 80s, which convinced Bennett that solo performances could work on screen. "In television terms a monologue is something of a departure," said Bennett of Talking Heads, "but it is also the oldest form in the world: one person telling a tale."(A second performance in the Talking Heads series, Julie Walters in Her Big Chance, can be seen on 19 August)

: BBC Proms-Live
A feast of baroque music is performed by the Virtuosi di Roma, one of the world's most celebrated chamber orchestras.They play without a conductor and in tonight's concert offer five concertos, including Boccherini's most famous cello concerto.
Angelo Stefanato , their leader and artistic director, says:
"We are delighted to return to the Proms after a three-year absence with a tribute to
Boccherini on the 250th anniversary of his birth, and four contrasting concertos by our beloved Vivaldi. The programme happily gives each of our soloists a concerto to play and I will play solo violin in Ilfavorito."
Introduced by James Naughtie from the Royal Albert Hall. Series editor Peter Maniura Director Jonathan Fulford
SIMULTANEOUS BROADCAST with Radio 3

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.
