: MUST MORALITY PAY?
or What Socrates should have said to Thrasymachus by ANTONY FLEWProfessor of Philosophy University of Keele
Thrasymachus maintained that the man who acts justly is never acting in his own interests, but in the interests of whoever succeeds in exploiting his good nature. Certainly, morality demands genuine sacrifices: but does this make it irrational?

: DISCOVERIES IN NUBIA
† by REX KEATINGSix years have passed since the launching of the archaeological campaign for surveying and salvaging as much material as possible from the Nile areas to be flooded by the building of the Aswan Dam.
Rex Keating of the unesco Seeretariat has been closely associated with the campaign from the outset. This year he travelled up the river as far south as the Dal Cataract, the extreme limit of the area to be ftooded. He talks about some of the Sudanese excavations and the light they may throw on early African history.

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.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
