: Horizon: Death of the Working Classes
If you are born into a working class family, from your first breath you are at greater risk of dying than the baby of professional parents. At all ages, death has a class bias.The NHS has made no difference to the health gap between the social classes. Is the gap because of the way people behave - eating chips, smoking - or is it the result of poverty and deprivation? Does stress matter, and if so, what kind? Can unemployment kill? "Horizon" investigates the theories behind the shocking statistics and asks if the will is there to do anything about them.

: Split Screen
New MusicThe world of 'classical music' might seem an unusual topic for Split Screen, but current trends in 'new music' composition can arouse strong passions in musicians and audiences alike.
William Scanlan Murphy , a music graduate and author, claims that 'many people would say that they don't just dislike what they're hearing - they'd say it wasn't music at all'.
Simon Emmerson , a composer and lecturer, responds that composers are developing a music which calls 'upon a vast variety of resources, some traditional, some experimental, some acoustic and electronic ... Let us welcome their new vitality'. Film editors

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.
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.
