: Heart of the Matter
with David LomaxInteresting Charges
There was a time when
Third World countries could pay their way by selling raw materials to the First World. In the Dominican Republic, the fragile, developing economy relied on sugar exports. But when a slump in the world sugar market followed hard on the heels of the oil crisis, the Dominicans (and many others in the Third World) were unable to repay their debts abroad.
They were forced to ask the International Monetary Fund to step in with ready cash - and crippling austerity measures.
How much longer can the First World expect the poorer countries to play the world economic game by their rules? Does the way ahead lie in imposed belt-tightening, or in an altruism from the First World which may be to the long-term advantage of all members of the global family?

: Wideworld
A monthly anthology of travel, exploration and adventure. Tonight:Men and Mountains.
Two films introduced by John Ridgway
On 8 June, 1924,
George Mallory and Andrew Irvine set out to conquer the final slopes of Mount Everest.
When last seen, they were less than 1,000 feet from the top - and going strongly. Could they have made it? Wideworld examines the mystery, looks at new evidence, and interviews the last surviving members of the 1924 party.
Nine years later, in 1933, four other Britons set out on a rather different Everest expedition. They returned just a few hours later - with remarkable pictures of the summit. Now, the story of their epic high-altitude flight is told with film they shot that very day ...
Lastly, in this programme about the world's high places, the winner of this year's Mick Burke Film
Award - chosen by viewers of last month's Wideworld. Film editor ROBERT MAYNARD Everest producer

: A Writer's Suffolk
George Ewart Evans was born in the Welsh valleys in 1909 and wrote about his adopted East Anglia in such books as Ask the Fellows Who Cut the Hay and Horse Power and Magic. He became Britain's leading oral historian with his recordings of the villagers of Blaxhall, Suffolk.'Listening to the Blaxhall people, I realised that they were historical documents, books that walked, and nobody was recording them.' He made this film about his work in 1979. Written and narrated by George Ewart Evans Producer JOHN ARCHER

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.
