On 28 August this year, a very special 50th anniversary celebration took place in a tiny, remote island group 110 miles off the west coast of Scotland. The last of the St Kildans had returned to the island of their birth, some for the first time since it was evacuated 50 years ago. Chris Brasher and a BBC film crew were there to witness this historic event. He spoke to the St Kildans, now scattered throughout Britain, about their earliest memories, and tells the story of this legendary community which eked out a living by scaling the highest sea cliffs in Britain in search of sea birds for food.Film cameraman CARRY MORRISON Film editor ROBERT BURNETT Director JACKIE ROWLEY

Upsetting the Balance of Terror?For more than 30 years the world has lived in the anxious faith that the nuclear deterrent will preserve mankind from the horror of atomic war. Now, however, new missile systems of terrifying sophistication are challenging that fundamental belief. Against the background of a US election in which defence is becoming an increasingly strident issue, David Jessel investigates how the superpowers are squaring up to each other.

'Mr Hinds , any description of locks in Her Majesty's prisons comes under the Official Secrets Act. I cannot allow you to discuss this lock before the public.
In the 50s, press and public alike were thrilled and amused by the exploits of this master of escape.

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.
