: Far from Paradise
A series of seven programmes 5: Now You See It, Now You DonFamine in parts of Africa is becoming endemic. Soil erosion and spreading areas of desert are reducing the amount of land available for cultivation, while at the same time the population is rising. The situation is not helped by the overgrazing of animals, or by widespread deforestation, which contributes to the frequency of the droughts. But the cutting down of forests still ravages other parts of the world.
John Seymour reports from around the world.
John Ormond narrates.

Modelling and Modelling Cycle When you use even the most elementary mathematics to solve a problem, you are modelling. This programme explains the mathematical modelling process. Producer JOHN STRATFORD (R)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.
