The classic documentary film 'Smoke makes prosperity - no matter if you choke on it.'This devastating indictment of the onrush of 'civilisation' in overcrowded American cities, was one of the great poetic documentaries inspired by Pare Lorentz in the late 1930s. Music by AARON COPLAND enhances raw and powerful images of waste and deprivation, and a visionary, socialist view of the alternatives possible.

with John PitmanAt the age of 8, Julie Lartey was snatched from the couple who had fostered her since she was a few days old, and smuggled out of Britain to Ghana.
The snatch had a devastating effect on her foster parents - Evelyn and Bill Vose.
Now, ten years later, Julie wants to come home to them - will the Voses help?
Evelyn is aged 70, Bill is 80. They decide to spend their life savings on a ticket, but never hear whether Julie has received it.
They go to the airport not knowing whether Julie will be on the plane. If she isn't, they will go through all the heartache again. If she is, will they be able to pick up where they left off years ago?

: Movie Greats: Citizen Kane
starringOrson Welles Joseph Cotten
Welles's feature debut - at the age of 25 - nearly broke
RKO Studios. Now, several decades later, it is regarded as a masterpiece and arguably the single most important landmark in cinema history. Welles discarded and re-created innumerable 'rules' and his presence as actor and director dominates the entire production. Kane's story, told in flashback, shows him as a rich and powerful newspaper magnate whose career is threatened by scandal. 'Here is a man who could have been President, who was as loved and hated and as talked about as any man in our time, but when he comes to die, he's got something on his mind called Rosebud. Now what does that mean?'

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.
