The Night my FatherJumped out of His Skin Written and read by Michell Raper
I can see it, just as it was. The mahogany panelling and the potted palms, and my father diffidently making, his way past the slick new manager - up the stairs and into his brand new bedroom. He hadn't stayed in a hotel like this before and he wasn't expecting trouble ...

Camels in the Rain by (;RAHAM BLACKETT with Godfrey Kenton as Arthur ThompsonGRETA: I don't know whether it's great or not, but it's not stopping there.
ARTHUR: Course it is. It really sets the house off; gives it a touch of class.
ERNIE: Nobody else in the road's got one like that, Mrs Thompson. Makes them concrete bunnies look a bit sick.
GRETA: It's not staying there. Whatever would everyone think?

: The Depths of Depression
The trouble was that as soon as I woke up my mind seemed to be in complete contusion - I couldn't think straight, it leas like a machine clogged up and I didn't know what 1 was going to do or where I was going to.I tried to cut my wrists on a couple of occasions but the knife was a bit blunt and I don't think I had much courage actually. I think really I was asking for help. I wouldn't have taken my own life because I always had the children foremost in my mind - they were number one.
Comments from two people recalling their depressive illnesses. But when are vou clinically depressed? What's the difference between being fed-up and being in need of medical care? And what help is available?
David Waine hears about the problems of depression from the sufferers, their families, and the medical profession.

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.
