Help When Someone DiesSuddenly you find yourself responsible for arranging a funeral. Would you know what to do?
For example, imagine you're a distant but only relative of a man called Fred - who passed peacefully away a few days ago. He lived by himself, had no savings, and left no will. So what sort of funeral would Fred get? Should he be buried or cremated? And how would his 'estate' be sorted out?
Margo MacDonald uses the fictional example of Fred to give a step-by-step guide to what to do if someone dies. Directed by JEREMY ORLEBAR

: Horizon: The Greenhouse Effect
The temperature is going up. Britain may become warmer, but even wetter. The grain belt of America may get too dry to produce grain. In India, the monsoons may fail. Humans around the globe would face greater challenges than ever.By burning coal, oil and gas, carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere. It keeps more of the sun's heat in, which is making the world warm up. And, in a chain reaction, sea level, crop growth and rainfall will all change. Can the Greenhouse Effect be avoided, caused as it is by one of the most basic human activities - the generation of power? As one scientist says: '...we're hooked, we can't stop'.

: Split Screen
Staying AliveTwo spirited and topical films made by women who fundamentally disagree about the ethics of 'offensive self-defence'.
Lucy Irvine, author of Castaway which recounts her experiences living on a desert island, believes that 'in certain threatening situations a mild form of foul play is fair play ... and I would like to feel the law was on my side - even if I struck first'. To prove her point her film 'dramatises' several incidents of assault and defence featuring
Amanda Donahoe , who played Lucy in the film of Castaway.
The case against her is put by Irma Kurtz , a newspaper and magazine columnist who lives in inner-London. She argues that 'to live with a weaponin your pocket, evena mace spray ... is not to resist the villains, it's to join them'. Film editors

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
