: 2nd House
Introduced by Melvyn Bragg Mirror on ClassRichard Hoggart talks to
Melvyn Bragg about television and social class in Britain.
Were you watching television in 1956? If so, how much dp you think it has changed since then? Do you remember The Grove Family"! Did you see the very first edition of Coronation Street? Did you ever watch Can You Tell Me? Do you recall any plays, documentaries, or current affairs programmes of that period? 2nd House has been delving into the archives and has come up with a very varied range of programmes which, in their different ways, are revealing about social class and television. DR HOGGART, who helped with the selection of programme extracts, is perhaps best known as the author of The Uses of Literacy, first published in 1957. He served on the Pilkington Committee which enquired into broadcasting at the beginning of the 1960s. More recently, he has been working at UNESCO and he is now the Warden of Goldsmiths' College in London.

: Open Door
Looks back this week ... 100 programmes made by more than 100 groups and individuals - from all parts of the community. Some of them return to talk about why they wanted ' their own say in their own way' on subjects ranging from man-powered flight to cystitis, and dossers to transexuals. They'll be talking to Chris Dunkley , television critic of the Financial Times, about what they achieved with their programmes, and he'll be adding reactions of his own.Open Door programmes are made by the public in co-operation with the BBC's Community Programme Unit.

Weather: Midnight Movie: Objective, Burma!
Raoul Walsh Season starringErrol Flynn
A small party of us paratroopers are dropped into the Burmese jungle: their mission to find and destroy a Japanese radar station.
Raoul Walsh 's exciting film which realistically captures the tensions and hardships of jungle warfare, perhaps unjustly created the myth in Britain ' Flynn captures Burma single-handed' which caused the film to be withdrawn over here. BBC2 tonight presents the film in its full original version.

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.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
