: Television Doctor: Say it after me
A programme about speech disorders in childrenBy the age of three a child should be able to say simple phrases. If he does not what is wrong?
Is he a late developer? Does he have emotional problems? Is he deaf? Or suffering from high-tone deafness?
Some children stutter, either slightly or very badly. Some difficulties cause a child to 'live in a world where everyone else speaks nonsense language'.
The programme shows how some of these disorders are treated and a children's specialist explains how they arise.

: Horizon: CERN
Scientists making measurements with a machine half a mile in circumference... engineers designing another similar machine five miles in circumference: this is high-energy physics at the European Council for Nuclear Research, CERN, near Geneva in Switzerland.CERN produces nothing but spends £30 million a year investigating the ingredients of the nucleus, looking at particles only a ten-millionth of a millionth of an inch in diameter. CERN... the very big in pursuit of the very small.
Tonight's film looks at the landscape of CERN and its physicists and concludes that the day of the gigantic act of faith is not yet over.

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.
