: Big Science
Third of a six-part magazine series investigating the relationship between science and modern society.Research implies that 10,000 people could be dying from the traffic pollution in Britain each year. Presenter David Malone discovers that Britain has just seven EU-approved pollution measuring sites, compared with Germany's 200, and that there are no national standards for ozone or nitrogen dioxide levels. Will Britain have to follow the example of smog-filled Athens, where residents wear face masks in the summer?
He also investigates the environmental row between Greenpeace and the chemical industry over chlorine, the basis of some of the most common chemicals in the world. Some feel it may be the cause of decreasing fertility in men, as sperm counts have halved since the Second World War.
Finally, David meets philosopher Ed Regis to talk about the science of nanotechnology. Scientists can now write the contents of four encyclopedias on a pin. How far will nanotechnology be able to transform human society?

Sex In the DarkHow would you feel if someone had sex with you knowingthatthey might give you Aids? In the US, a man was convicted of attempted murder in for doingjust that.
There are those within British Aids organisations who refuse to condemn people for riskingthe infection of others, on the grounds that people who are HIV positive already suffer harassment and discrimination - to be told it is wrongto have sex which risks passing on a life-threatening virus would be simply offensive. Other activists disagree, and feel that people who are H IV positive or have Aids should show more responsibility in their sexual behaviour. New research suggests that a substantial number of people are failingto do so. Mark Easton reports on the controversy and examines the argument that Britain should make such behaviour illegal, and talks to those whose lives have been affected.

: The Bomb: Nagasaki Journey
The misery in the aftermath of the atomic bombing of the Japanese city Nagasaki is evoked by three stories told from different points of view.The first story tells of Sumiteru Taniguchi, a 16-year-old postman who was delivering mail on his bicycle when the bomb exploded. With the aid of contemporary footage of Mr Taniguchi and archive film of him in hospital - shot by US Army doctors in 1945 - it shows how he and his family were psychologically affected by his injuries.
The second tells of US Marine Victor Tolley, who came ashore in Nagasaki harbour with his fellow sailors, six weeks after the bombing. Marine cinematographers filmed the occupation, including encounters with Japanese survivors.
Finally, the programme tells of Isuko Okubo, who searched in vain for her son Akira after the blast. He had been attending classes at the medical school, which was destroyed.
In addition to recently discovered rare footage from 1945, Nagasaki Journey features black and white still photographs, taken the day after the blast, by Japanese Army photographer Yosuke Yamahata.

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.
