1.00 British Opera Matinee
Britten Albert Herring Humphrey Carpenter introduces a comic favourite, which vividly sends up the colourful characters and petty politics of rural
Suffolk that Britten knew so well. The village of Loxford needs a May queen for its spring festivities, but the only young person to be found with his virtue still intact is the greengrocer's son, still tied to his mother's apron strings.

: The Voice of the Mall
There are over 39,000 malls in North America, where Main Street appears to be a thing of the past. Russell Davies travels to the mega-malls of Edmonton, Minneapolis and California to investigate these controversial enablers of - or impediments to - community. Is there a line to be drawn from the Greek agora and the Italian piazza to the frequently kitsch arcades of the modern mall? And is there something frightening about a place that promises everything?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.
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.
Your use of this version of Genome is covered by the BBC Acceptable Use of Information Systems Policy and these terms.
