The Spare Yen Spenders
Japan's fantastic economic boom has created a secondary explosion ... organised leisure.
With millions of Japanese finding spare time on their hands and spare money in their pockets, their flirtation with the West has been intensified.
The Money Programme discovers a world where model girls have plastic surgery as a matter of course, where baseball is more of an obsession than in America ... and unearths the Japanese equivalent of Bingo! All part of one of the world's fastest growing industries ... leisure.

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.
