: Horizon: Carry on Smoking
Cigarette consumption, despite government health warnings, continues to rise. Doctors estimate up to 100,000 people die each year as a result. Over ten times as many as die on the roads. Why do people smoke? What are the real health consequences? What can be done to unhook smokers? With over £1,000-million going into the nation's Treasury from tobacco revenue and only £400,000 being spent on government antismoking campaigns, has the government too much at stake, financially, to take the dangers of smoking more seriously? Or, in view of the attempts to make smoking safer, should we not accept the positive advantages gained from smoking and accept the continuation of the habit?Reaching for death: page 5

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.
