: South Africa under the Skin
Xolile Yawa is the most outstanding black SouthAfrican runner of the decade. In Under the Skin this week, he explores the dilemma of talented citizens obliged to pursue their life ambitions on apartheid's terms.
Recruited by a gold mine, Yawa is given a wage, a car and generous training facilities. In return, he devoted himself to gruelling, all-year-round competition, on track, road and cross-country. His 10km time would have placed him fourth at the Seoul Olympics - but for the international sporting boycott against South African athletes.
Although he supports action against injustice, he craves the chance to compete with the world's best.

: The Last Launch
Fourth of a six-part documentary series.I Go to Work on the San Diego Trolley
When the Katrina Saunter is called in the twice weekly dance at St James's Church Hall, Elsie sits it out.
Her husband, Brian, who shares her passion for sequence dancing, is on the other side of the world, in San Diego.
Brian Woodward was one of the 2,000 workforce made redundant when North East
Shipbuilders in Sunderland closed at the end of last year. With no prospect of using his skills as a loftsman in Britain, he took a contract in an American shipyard.
While Elsie spends lonely evenings at home watching Come Dancing, Brian spends his spare time in search of the white tuxedo he has always wanted for those special dance evenings back home.

: Made in Latin America
An eight-part series. 5: City LimitsMexico City, the largest
Latin American city, is the melting pot for an astonishing variety of different forms of popular culture.
This film looks at how the cinema of the 40s transformed the Mexican Revolution into popular mythology. It goes behind the scenes of the massively popular soap operas, listens to songs of urban low life and visits old-style dance halls and mobile street discos. It also watches traditional festivals, ranging from the Day of the Dead to the cult of the Virgin of Guadalupe, where religious objects and icons are subjected to endless, often satirical, variations.

Highlights of the last day of the Queen's Speech Debate in Parliament.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.
