A series of ten programmes presented by ANNE LAPPING and MICHAEL REINHOLD8: Does the Local Council care?
Everyone needs some looking after as they grow old. But are our health and local Government services fulfilling their objectives to the elderly and, if not, why?
This programme was recorded before the freeze on local government spending that was announced recently. But the responsibility for providing sheltered housing and home helps for the elderly still rests with your local council.

Public Television in AmericaWould you pay L2,000 for an ' Upstairs Downstairs '-style dinner served by a butler and maid? Recently a lady in New York did just that, to support the cause of better television. The dinner was one of 7,000 items offered on a Public Broadcasting Television station's auction to raise money. There are 260 of these television stations in America providing a cultural and educational alternative to the hard-selling commercial networks. They are financed by the Government, local organisations and the public themselves.

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.
