The Company of Ants and BeesThey have lasted for over 50 million years and will probably outlast us.
What is the secret of their success?
Are their societies better organised than ours? Ants and bees live in true democracies. The queen, like ours, is only a constitutional monarch. So who makes the decisions? The workers! Professor James Gould argues that ants and bees tell us about human society and its future chances.

Last of the series in which the public can make programmes under their own editorial control.The Quality of Mercy. When women don't fit the norm of wife and mother, they can get rough justice in court. 'They were talking about the affair I had with a married woman and that was it straight away: she's a mad, young lesbian.' Sexuality, race and appearance can prejudice police, judges and juries. This film enables convicted women to question the mercy they were shown when proven guilty. Producer Sue Davidson

Shell Logo. Most large companies adopt a symbol to identify themselves and sell their product. Shelf's is one of the most famous.But it was selected at random and had already been used as a symbol for centuries. Its casual use during this century would scandalise any of today's corporate image makers. Despite this it has become one of the most successful pieces of graphic design.

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.
