: The Battle for Ideas
Third of a six-part series in which political gurus take part in a studio debate on their different ideas for the future. Tonight, American professorAmitai Etzioni explains his belief that a sense of community must replace a modern trend towards selfishness. In his first appearance on British television, Professor Etzioni argues that fragmentingfamilies and desolate inner cities are the result of placingthe needs of the individual before the community. He claims the sense of duty and obligation towards each other has been lost, and that people demand rights and yet refuse to accept the reponsibilities that go with them.
Etzioni's communitarian movement is said to be an influence on political leaders from President Clinton to
Chancellor Kohl and Tony Blair. Joining the debate are Professor Alan Ryan and the programme's host, political commentator Andrew Marr.

Thousands of labourers in Brazil's charcoal industry are beingforced to work as virtual slaves in hot and suffocatingconditions. Julian Pettifer ventures into remote parts of the country to meet those who tend the charcoal kilns and finds that even children are being ruthlessly exploited. He hears that thousands of people are tempted by promises of free housing and good wages. Workers typically arrive penniless and are advanced moneyforfood, charged for"expenses" and begin their new life with a debt they can never repay.
In Spain, Frank Smith reports from the inland region of Aragon, where the local population is furious that precious water supplies are being diverted to help the tourist industry on the coast.

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.
