For two years, manual and staff workers at Basildon in Essex have had speaking rights at council meetings and in committees. Is this the model for unions like NALGO, NUPE, GMWU to follow?

: The World About Us
The Challenge of the Ganga Narrated by PATRICK ALLENWhen Sir Edmund Hillary planned a jet-boat expedition up the River Ganges - for millions the sacred heart of India - he knew he would find danger in the white waters of the upper reaches and a challenge in the final climb to its source in the Himalayas; but as well he found warmth and enthusiasm in the people of India as they thronged the banks in their thousands to honour this traveller on his pilgrimage up the holy Ganga.

After his release, the family escaped in an overcrowded fishing boat and on their third night at sea with the boat sinking and all their food and water gone, they were saved by the British ship Weltpark.

: Movie Showcase: Opening Night
continues the season of recent, highly-acclaimed films. 4 starringMyrtle Gordon is a beautiful, famous and wealthy actress. During rehearsals for her latest play she witnesses the accidental death of an adoring young fan. The event, combined with the traumas of rehearsal, pushes her into a state of near-breakdown. The film brilliantly evokes the tensions and back-stage dramas that precede a first night, interwoven with a deeply-moving portrait of a vulnerable actress at a crisis in her career and life. Gena Rowlands gives one of the screen's greatest performances in the central role.
Probably Cassavetes', best film to date

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.
