: Gulliver's Laws: Lecture 5: Dwarf and Giant Numbers
The Royal Institution, London Annual Christmas Lectures to Young Peopleby Professor Philip Morrison
So far we have used only the arithmetic of ratio and we know that Gulliver was twelve times bigger than his Lilliputian hosts. In considering numbers in life we discover that words can be produced by drawing lots, taking us far into nature and language.

Accused of murdering an Englishman when he led his men across the border in search of Agnes, Gavin must stand trial at the next Day of Truce - when the opposing Wardens meet together to settle their outstanding quarrels.

: Europa: The Titled and the Unentitled
The 1969 New Year's Honours List once again stamped official and royal recognition on those of us who have given outstanding service. The awards embrace all the British people, from politicians and ambassadors to village postmen and road safety wardens. But how do the great mass of us both here and abroad who will never be honoured regard the baronetcies, the knighthoods, the medals?Tonight Europa looks at the aspects of pomp and circumstance through European eyes - with a special report from French Television on the investiture this summer of the Prince of Wales.

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.
