by DAVID NOBBS starring Peter Blake and Malcolm Storry with Arbel Jones and Elizabeth MickeryWith his abnormal load of dogfood safely delivered from Hull to Carmarthen, Dan spends the evening there furthering his relationship with the warm and sensuous 'Myfanwy'. Aubrey, having transported 40,000 tins of 'Doggy Dins' - and not one dented - from Carmarthen to Hull, discovers that the passion he has for his new-found friend, Helen, is almost as great as his desire to become a winning contestant on Mastermind.

A series of films about our lives - nowChanging Places
'We've been told to watch out for pinko, leftist, gay-lib, one earring-wearing teachers....' Mark [text removed] is a sixth-former at Rugby, a famous public school. It is the setting of Tom Brown 's Schooldays.
He's one of ten boys and girls from Rugby and ten from a comprehensive school,
Ruffwood, who for two weeks change places.
Ruffwood is a successful comprehensive in Kirkby, on the edge of Liverpool, where unemployment is high and opportunities are few. Rugby is steeped in tradition and rich in facilities. Parents pay fees of at least E6,600 a year. What will the Merseyside students make of the cadet force, chapel and May ball? How will the public-school pupils react to fish and chips in Kirkby?
The boys and girls from
Rugby and Ruffwood will glimpse a world that is unknown to them - can the barriers of class and wealth be overcome?

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.
Your use of this version of Genome is covered by the BBC Acceptable Use of Information Systems Policy and these terms.
