: Army Lives
A series of six programmes looking beyond the barrack gates at family life in the army. 5: In British Forces Germany, civilians likeElsie, a health visitor with SSAFA - the Soldiers', Sailors' and Airmen's
Families Association - try to provide family care. Where there's no extended family she's a surrogate auntie and mum.
Army divorce figures are 18 per cent higher than those for England and Wales.
Young wives posted abroad with their husbands spend months as single parents in foreign countries while their husbands are sent away on duty. When marriages fail it's often families' officers who pick up the pieces.
Tony, a new SSAFA social worker, found his situation mirrored that of the wives.
He was so unhappy he asked his wife to give up her job and join him within a few months. 'I certainly leamt,' he says, 'that being an army wife isn't a bowl of cherries.' Filmed in West Germany, this programme looks at an army medical centre and a families' office.

: Doing It Right
The TroubleshooterDiscussion
For the last six weeks
Sir John Harvey-Jones , ex-chairman of ICI, has taken on the role of industrial detective. He has been hot on the trail of ways to improve production methods, design and above all management.
Tonight Sir John faces some of the recipients of his advice and a number of other industrialists to attempt to chart a way forward for Britain. Why is . this country still dropping in the world's industrial league table? Are we not ambitious enough? Too slow to change? Or are the problems even more fundamental than that?
How can we do it better?

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.
