: lain Burnside
Today England joins Wales and Scotland in banning smoking in all public places. Burnside explores the influence of tobacco and other addictive substances on composers and their music. EMAIL: burnside@bbc.co.uk: Private Passions
Michael Berkeley is joined by historian Linda Colley , who is currently teaching at Princeton University. Her works include a study of the Tory party in the early18th century, and the award-winning Britons: Forging the Nation 1707-1837. More recently she has written The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh , which tells the extraordinary story of an intrepid 18th-century female traveller in North Africa, Asia and the Americas, and her brushes with the Islamic world and the slave trade. Colley's musical choices reflect both her own private passions - including Bach, Britten and Stravinsky - and music she has encountered on her travels while researching her books.

: Sunday Feature: Forster In India:Sex, Books and Empire
EM Forster's personal passage to India was the key to both his greatest novel and his political radicalism. What drew this shy and retiring figure from British suburbia to the mysterious heart of a faraway subcontinent? Taking a fresh look at the links between Forster's homosexuality, his critique of the Raj and his remarkably modern capacity for crossing racial and cultural borders. Zareer Masani rescues Forster from the stereotype of an old-maidish, closeted gay, writing tea-table novels. Producer Ingrid HasslerContributors

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.
