If the Rains Don't ComeZimbabwe is gripped by the worst drought in living memory. A country that was once the grainstore for southern Africa is becoming dependent on aid. In the most extensive animal rescue scheme ever undertaken, hippos, zebra and buffalo are being rounded up. But some animals can't be saved - a thousand elephants may be killed and their meat fed to the hungry people. In the south where no rain at all fell last year, half a million people face starvation. Julian Pettifer reports from Zimbabwe, where the crops have failed, the cattle have died and the ground is too hard for planting. Producer Paul Cleary
Editor Amanda Theunissen

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.
