: Horizon
Time Trip. Ever since Einstein showed it was theoretically possible, the quest to travel through time has appealed to both amateurs and brilliant scientists alike. The amateurs include Aage Nost , who demonstrates his time machine for the cameras, while Professor Frank Tipler has theoretically sound designs for a machine - but in practice it would weigh half the mass of the galaxy. There is, however, one way that time travel to the past could be possible - future scientists could use computers to create exact replicas of past times. But if that's true, who's to say we are not one of the replicas? Producer Malcolm Clark ; Editor Matthew Barrett (S)Contributors

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.
