Reporters Jeremy James, Jeanne La Chard, John Pitman, Denis Tuohy, Desmond Wilcox, Harold WilliamsonThis week: To the Bitter End
Twelve miles down the road from the Upper Clyde shipyards a group of determined men are fighting 'to the bitter end.' Seven hundred and sixty men out of work; 11 million worth of machinery standing idle at the Argyll works in Alexandria; a town struck by mass unemployment in an area where 12 out of every 100 men are already out of work. The Plessey Co Ltd finally completed the purchase of the factory and its contents for the cut-price of £650,000 in January. Nine months later they closed it and decided to transfer its vital machinery to their plant in Ilford, Essex. But 200 of their former employees have refused to allow them to move the machines and are occupying the factory. Are they fighting a lost cause or is there some hope that the now silent factory may come to life again, and provide work for the men of Alexandria?

: Look, Stranger: Together They Made It on the Euston Road
Outside the new Shaw Theatre on the Euston Road a controversial beacon beckons. Keith Grant, the designer, is one of Britain's busiest artists. His works are bought by Kenneth Clark, Benjamin Britten and Local Authority collections, amongst others. He talks about his work - what led up to the making of the 'St Joan' and the reaction of the people involved in making this sculpture.Contributors
: Two Left Feet
Tonight's film in this season of British films by some of the distinguished directors and writers who brought a new style to the cinema in the SixtiesStarring Michael Crawford, Nyree Dawn Porter, Julia Foster, David Hemmings
Alan Crabbe, a callow 19-year-old who works for a road transport firm in London, gets enough encouragement from Eileen, the glamorous new waitress at Joe's Cafe, to ask for a date.
A cast of then unknown, now successful, actors all contribute to this well-observed and comically true-to-life film about the younger generation of the time.

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.
