1—' How Do We Go? 'At the International Astronautical Congress held in Rome earlier this year, one of the principal topics of discussion was the unmanned satellite to be launched by the Americans during the International Geophysical Year. As a result, the whole question of space travel has left the realm of fiction and is being seriously discussed by scientists.
The editorial adviser for these four programmes is A. V. Cleaver , a leading rocket engineer. In the first of them, he discusses with Peter Scott the developments which are likely to take place in the foreseeable future.

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.
