The Ball GameAnxious to celebrate their success and improve their public image, docklands property developers hold a lavish ball in aid of charity. The cause is the London
Hospital in the city's East End, where the children's wards are little changed since Victorian times.
On the 40th birthday of the NHS, John Sweeney looks at the expanding business of charity fund-raising in hospitals: a welcome addition to state funding or a throwback to a dependence on the generosity of the rich? Research PAUL SAPIN

: The Duty Men
The fifth of nine programmes The Red and the GreenA wry, yet disturbing, look at the daily grind in the red and green Customs' channels of the world's busiest international airport, London Heathrow. Target flights from drug-growing areas usually produce results but mostly officers have to rely on a mix of intuition, graft, luck and the 'revenue nose'. 'Fifty per cent of those we stop will have something over the top,' says one officer. The insight into the 'Throne Room', where officers doing the nastiest job in Customs wait for the 'stuffers' and 'swallowers', ensures that no-one can ever look at those quiet
Customs people in the same way again.

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.
