At NATO's Lisbon conference in 1952 it was decided that the alliance would need 90 divisions for the successful conventional defence of Europe. But NATO governments could not see how the alliance could afford them, and consequently there are now about 5,000 nuclear weapons on European soil. Was this the right decision?

During this period two great rival newsreel companies, Cinesound and Movietone, were the main source of visual information for people throughout the country.

The result is one of the most entertaining, exciting and innovative films to come from the new Australian cinema.

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.
